FOW056 – Lockdown experiences in Wuhan (with Rui Zhong) [EN]

To discuss the Coronavirus, how its affected China, and its global implications, my guest today is Rui Zhong of the Wilson Center. Rui, who has close ties to Wuhan, has been one of the more sensitive, nuanced and intelligent writers addressing the Coronavirus.How do we sympathize with the struggles of ordinary people while furious at the actions of their governments? How do we fight the Coronavirus while not allowing states to use it as an excuse for enhancing surveillance? How do we not succumb to xenophobia at a disease which knows no borders and no flags?In these moments of global panic, we can be our best and worst selves I discuss all this with Rui in an engaging conversation. I hope you find it useful.For more on Wuhan, The Coronavirus and China I'd recommend the following:A great playlist of Wuhan punk and Rock and Roll can be found here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3Ay8sJS5rgrJK3JVLCFgo0Rui's Foreign policy piece can be found here: https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/22/wuhan-coronavirus-quarantine-china-will-hit-poor-hardest/New York Times Article we refer to in the piece is here: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/20/business/china-coronavirus-wuhan-delivery.htmlThe Surplus Value Podcast can be found here (Chinese Language only): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghx4l0Cp9o0This wonderful article by Chuang (a progressive China Journal): http://chuangcn.org/2020/02/social-contagion/Beat is by Urban Nerd Beats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozVQixtiq8U網友手繪。圖片來自網絡 at https://theinitium.com/article/20200207-liwenliang-public-opinion/
