You're listening to an airwave media podcast. Hello and welcome to the history of China.

Hey everyone, today I'm excited to bring you at long last, my interview with the hosts of the Reconsider and Eric Fog examining

the politics society and yes history of China the funny thing is we

actually did this interview a couple of years back in late 2018,

and then I just sort of completely blanked on actually putting it out on my own feed at the time.

I think it was that I was so busy putting together that year's strange tale stories that it just got shelved and then put on the back burner and then kind of forgotten.

Well, fortunately, they decided to re-release their China series and tag me into it, so I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity for me to finally get it to you for the first time.

You should also totally go check out their other three parts and interviews on the topic. They are as ever fascinating.

All right, so without further I do, this is Xander, Eric, and my conversation on everything from

Confucianism to Xinjiang to China's sense of its own place in world history and its future.

So I hope you enjoy. Welcome back everyone to reconsider part of the Agora Podcast Network where we don't do the thinking for you and welcome to episode four of our reconsidering China series.

We're going to be talking about China's history and how that history impacts its worldview today.

So the last couple of episodes we've talked about China's economy, their financial system,

some of the current political considerations that the Communist Party is working on now.

And today we have a very special guest.

We're going to give you some context about China's very, very long history and how that shapes China's worldview today with

Chris Stewart of the History of China Podcast. Chris, welcome to reconsider.
