Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In the past two years, China’s news agencies have opened dozens of bureaus and launched English-language television stations and newspapers across the U.S. This “soft-power” strategy is aimed at countering what the Chinese government sees as overwhelmingly negative American press coverage of China. We explore China’s media charm offensive, and whether it’s reaching its target audience.
