| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Mary Kay Mag Stud. I'm an old friend of Cynica podcast, going right back to its early days a decade ago in Beijing when I was a correspondent there for PRX as the world, and I'd bike to Cynica's homemade studio in a walk-up apartment off of Chow Yang Lu. These days, I'm in San Francisco. You may even hear the foghorns in the background. |
| 0:22.5 | Back when we were all in Beijing, it was always fun to swap stories and talk about the latest news in China with Kaiser and Jeremy, |
| 0:29.3 | and also to talk about issues and trends and tensions beneath the surface that deserved more attention and got it on Cynica. |
| 0:37.2 | Right from the beginning, |
| 0:38.5 | Seneca, Seneca was smart, informed, thought-provoking, provocative, often funny, sometimes irreverent. |
| 0:45.4 | In other words, as you know, a rewarding listen. At one point back when we were all in Beijing, |
| 0:51.7 | Kaiser deputized me to guest host an episode on the status of Chinese |
| 0:55.6 | women in society, in the workplace, and in the law in China. We did a fun farewell episode when I left |
| 1:02.8 | China in 2013, and I joined Kaiser and Jeremy in the episode relaunching Seneca under Sub-China, |
| 1:09.4 | when Kaiser moved back to the states himself. |
| 1:12.4 | So it's a real pleasure to be invited back to share with you here the first episode of my new |
| 1:18.0 | nine-episode podcast on China's New Silk Road. To do it, I reported on five continents over the |
| 1:24.7 | past year and a bit before COVID, I teamed up with local journalists |
| 1:29.1 | to learn how China's global ambitions are seen in their country and what impact China's |
| 1:34.4 | New Silk Road investments are having on the ground. I'm doing this podcast with the Global |
| 1:39.4 | Reporting Center. It's a nonprofit group founded by former 60 Minutes producer Peter Klein, and it teaches |
| 1:45.9 | practices and promotes innovation and global journalism. You can check out its reporting projects |
| 1:51.4 | and partnerships at global reporting center.org. There's also a webpage there for On China's |
| 1:57.2 | New Silk Road with photos and transcripts. So about the new podcast. You listen to Seneca, so you probably already know about China's |
| 2:05.3 | New Silk Road or the Belt and Road Initiative. China's effort to build out a belt of land |
| 2:10.7 | routes and a maritime Silk Road of Sea Roots connecting China with Europe, Africa, and beyond, |
| 2:16.1 | even up to the Arctic. |
