Episode 1: Legacies of Covid-19


For the inaugural episode of 开门见山 | Gateway to Global China, Yangyang spoke with Jing Wang and Christian Sorace about the legacies of Covid-19, five years after the novel coronavirus upended all of our lives.

At another moment of global fear and uncertainty, what lessons can we draw from those early days—and what questions still demand answers? What was it like for people inhabiting racialised bodies or leading transnational lives? How did governments appropriate public health for political gains? And how have Chinese communities sought joy amidst grief and inscribed memory against censorship?

Join us for a wide-ranging conversation that explores these questions and more.
