Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
As the Chinese economy continues to boom, conventional media coverage tends to focus on the mega-wealthy or the heavy hand of communist party political repression. But these perspectives ignore the new and potentially transformative role of normal Chinese, demanding their rights. We speak with a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist about political dissent and silent transformations in China.
Guests
- Ian Johnson Author "Wild Grass: Three Portraits of Change in Modern China" (Vintage); and Berlin Bureau Chief, Wall Street Journal
