Speed up! Through the rainforest, across the sea… for those who can’t fly The Great Escape is a familiar yet unfamiliar history to the Chinese people. In the 1960s, for example, starving Chinese people fled to Hong Kong during the Great Famine. In 30 years, a cumulative total of over one million people managed to escape mainland China. The topic we will explore today is: China is already considered rich, so why does it fail to retain its people? In addition to the Chinese who have fled to other countries

#chinainsights In China, the most recognized ID for citizens is the identity card.

While it seems like something you might only hear at a religious rally, “heaven will destroy the CCP” was a common protest slogan seen at Hong Kong protests. That’s because it’s not just people of faith who hope for divine intervention—many people inside China and Hong Kong would like to see the CCP fall.

In this special episode, we sat down with Benedict Rogers, co-founder and chief executive of Hong Kong Watch and author of “The China Nexus.” He sheds light on the protests happening across China, the human rights abuses in the country, and how the Chinese regime’s influence has spread into free countries too.
