The Airwave podcast network proudly presents “FACE-OFF: THE U.S. VS. CHINA“, an enlightening eight-episode podcast. With its debut set for the 9th of April, 2024, the show features Jane Perlez, a Pulitzer Prize recipient and ex-New York Times journalist, and the acclaimed China historian Rana Mitter at the helm.
“FACE-OFF” offers an in-depth analysis of the evolving relationship between China and the US, from their days of dialogue to the present breakdown in communications. At a juncture when the American government and populace view China as their primary threat, this podcast seeks to engage a diverse international audience. It aims to shed light on the reasons behind the heightened tensions and the deterioration in diplomatic ties, attracting those with interests in global relations, cultural exchanges, economic connections, and the annals of political history. Each episode promises to feature narratives from diplomats, intelligence officers, cultural luminaries, and experts in the fields of technology and defence.
The series kicks off with an episode that recounts the adept diplomatic manoeuvres by a former US Navy Admiral in 2001, which led to the release of American service members from Chinese custody, and ponders how a similar event might pan out in the current tense atmosphere. The subsequent episode delves into the complex relationship between Apple and China.
Hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and one-time New York Times Beijing bureau chief Jane Perlez, with co-host Professor Rana Mitter, a prominent historian of China at the Harvard Kennedy School, “FACE-OFF” is brought to life by executive producer Mia Label and is generously funded through a Carnegie Corporation endowment.
