This week on Sinica, Kaiser is joined again by Yawei Liu, Senior Director for China at the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia; and by Danielle Goldfarb, head of global research at RIWI Corp, an innovative web-based research outfit headquartered in Toronto. They discuss a survey commissioned by the Carter Center to look at Chinese attitudes toward the Russo-Ukrainian War: whether Chinese people believe supporting Russia to be in China's interest, what they believe China's best course of action to be, and whether they're aware of — and if so, whether they believe — disinformation pushed by Moscow about U.S.-run bio labs in Ukraine. Danielle also discusses other survey research that RIWI has conducted about China that relates to the war in Ukraine.2:41 – Why public opinion still matters in authoritarian countries5:35 – Has the debate over the Russian invasion of Ukraine been completely shut down in China?12:17 – RIWI’s technology and survey methodology18:47 – The Carter Center questionnaire and its results28:05 – RIWI’s Military Conflict Risk Index, and the China-Taiwan results35:26 – The puzzling correlation between education level and propensity to believe disinformation42:00 – Popular attitudes about the relationships among Russia, China, and the U.S.A transcript of this podcast is available on SupChina.comRecommendations: Yawei: How China Loses: The Pushback Against Chinese Global Ambitions, by Luke Patey.Danielle: Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez.Kaiser: Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan by Jake AdelsteinSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
