On weeks without a new interview, we’re going to start reposting favorite episodes from our Top 10 most popular shows, in case you missed them, and we’re kicking that off with one of THE best and most timely shows (in retrospect) that we could hope to share with you in our current situation. DAVID THOMAS has a very special history with China. His father Michael was the Attorney General for Hong Kong in the early-mid 80s charged by the UK government with creating what ultimately became known as the Basic Law, and he had a front row seat as it all unfolded. David has been deeply involved with China ever since, and today - in an interview recorded before Covid-19 became a household word - he shares some of his insights from four decades of engagement with the Middle Kingdom. Also: we fill you in on the impact of the current situation on us, and the show.
