Living In China Through The Covid Pandemic

In this Podcast we will be interviewing Dan Scrimgeour who sometime before the Covid outbreak chose to live in China and is still there.

 

In this interview we will look at the experiences he went through as the pandemic started there and then spread across the globe. How did they handle it and what measures did they take. Did their institutional structure make it easier to institute track and trace than it did in the UK and how did they engage their own population.

 

There were differences of approach that are worth exploring and discovering if there are lessons to learn.

 

We will also discuss with Dan the re emergence of China on the world scene. China has always seen itself as the “middle kingdom” and perhaps is now reasserting itself as the “centre of the world.” What does that mean to us all?
