Episode 62 - Hong Kong & Lee Kuan Yew's effect on China with Joshua Pollock
We’re joined by history professor, whiskey drinker, and all around brilliant guy, Joshua Pollock and in addition to hearing some direct accounts of the Hong Kong demonstrations of 2019 took a deep dive into the deeper context surrounding China, Hong Kong, the influence of Lee Kuan Yew on China after Mao, and oh so much more. It was a very fun conversation, but Josh also relayed an incredible amount of dense information and analysis in a wonderfully digestible way. We’re hoping this will be the first of many times we have him on. Can you tell I’m extra excited about this episode?
You can find Josh as resident scholar on this show as soon as we can have him back, you can find Andrew on youtube as Pamphleteer or on Twitter as @Pamphlet_tyr, Brent is @berniejeb2020, Ty is @whythattyguy, and the podcast is @pfthhd. Links to everything else in the Twitter bio.
