CTP is now into its 50th episode and to mark this occasion, we're taking on China and its Project of the Century.  To help me understand what is happening with China, especially after the release of the Human Rights Watch Report "Crimes Against Humanity in Xinjiang," I asked  Reid Standish, editor of China in Eurasia (Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty) and Prof Scott Lucas (EA Worldview) to come on and we hope you'll enjoy the convo about  how China is moving across the world in their effort to gain great power status. Reid is an expert on China, Central Asia, the Caucasus and has had experience in Moscow as well. He and Scott help us understand how the Chinese regime maintains its power and influence at home as well as abroad. What's the Belt and Road Initiative Belt and what are China's relations with international powers such as Russia and South East Asia as well as Europe. Many thanks to CTP's senior researcher Davide Cortese without whom I wouldn't be able to get prepped for the chats. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for listening,Mo
