Overview:
This is a 自媒体 talk show about economy and politics. I really enjoy the format of the videos and Wong Kim speaks very clearly and methodically that his videos keep you interested.

Whats good about it?
Updated twice daily, videos are 1 hour long, the news analysis section is about 30 minutes
Some videos include subtitles that you can select in either English or Chinese
The format of each video is the same, discussion of a topic and then an analysis of the news and then discussion with viewers at the end. Once you listen to a few videos you'll become familiar with the format
Keep up to date with current events as well as improving Chinese.
On a side note:
Whenever you watch news, of course every media outlet has their own stance/position so I encourage everyone to listen widely to differing opinions to really understand Chinese culture/politics (a journey I am currently on too!). Remember the majority of opinions ‘inside the wall’ will be different to those ‘outside’. I will try to share both types of resources. I also will try to share western media that has Chinese news outlets as well as in my recent journey of studying Chinese economy and politics I think listening to all differing voices is very important to form your own understanding!
