Hello and welcome to Brokonomics and in this episode we're going to be talking about China with two superb analysts from China uncensored

but Chris and Shelley guys thanks for coming thanks on. It's great to be here.

Yeah, definitely.

So what is it that, tell us about China Unsensored

and what is it that got you guys into this?

So I think the big thing is, you know, now in 2023 most people understand that the Chinese

Gammies party is a threat and having a real impact on the United States and around the world. But when we started the show in 2012, everyone,

it was still kind of in the post-2008 Olympic days people had. They saw the opening ceremonies. Oh wow. China is amazing, it's up and coming,

it's so different than that Tiananmen Square Massacre era that was only about 20 years before.

And yet people just didn't know anything about China.

They like I talked to people and they still thought China was a democracy because they have a quote unquote president. So we wanted to just get the word out that the Chinese

Communist Party communism. It is a real and present threat.

The Cold War, the Second Cold War has been going on for a long time and just people weren't aware.

And we thought if we used a little bit of humor, some sarcasm, maybe we could get a little more people to actually watch.

Well it's fantastically successful. I know you've got you know a huge

viewership so clearly you're resonating with people. It seems that way I love

hearing comments from people. We have a great

comment section. YouTube common sections can be sometimes dumpster fires, but I

think we have a really good community on the show.

Fantastic.

Shelly, yeah. She'll, what's your background?

I was born in China, came to the US fairly young when I was about four years old.
