The year 2024 holds many uncertainties for China: the economic situation in the country is difficult. Multi-layered conflicts at the regional and international level and the elections in the EU and the US will also have an impact on China. How is Beijing tackling these challenges? Podcast host Johannes Heller-John talks to the German-Chinese journalist Shi Ming, an expert on China's domestic politics. He works for leading media outlets as a freelance journalist. In the summer of 2024, Shi Ming was a Senior Fellow at MERICS.
