\xa0 \xa0 Godfree Roberts is the author of Why China Leads The World: Talent at the Top, Data in the Middle, Democracy at the Bottom.
\xa0 \xa0 Godfree Roberts contacted me and suggested I interview him about his book. I thought, \u2018okay, why not.\u2019
\xa0 \xa0 \xa0Well, I\u2019ve never offered up an evaluation of a guest at the outset of the podcast, but I must tell you, I came to the conclusion as the conversation went on, that Mr. Roberts might be a troll, since he sounded increasingly like a paid publicist for the CCP. \xa0I may be wrong about that. But, for instance, his insistence that Mao\u2019s cultural revolution of the 1960s was a mere education campaign and didn\u2019t hurt anybody seemed like utter nonsense to me.
You decide for yourselves.
