As a long time foreign correspondent, I've worked in lots of places, but nowhere is important

to the world as China.

I'm Jane Perlaz, former Beijing Bureau Chief for the New York Times.

Join me on my new podcast, Face Off, US versus China,

where I'll take you behind the scenes in the tumultuous US-China relationship.

Find face-off wherever you get your podcasts. You're going to be. What's up guys? Welcome to another episode of Bro history. It's Henry Zamoda and

Danny of Belgebar. What's up man? Chilling man, as per usual, how about yourself?

I can't complain. I can't complain. It's been a while. I know. Yeah we took a little impromptu break there didn't we? Yeah well we both had family stuff going on. Yeah that's

definitely true. We're back I guess. It happens there's plenty of podcast out there that you guys can listen to in the interim

Between our episodes when we take extended breaks, but what has it's been two weeks?

It's not that bad.

Yeah.

I think this episode is kind of just like gonna be a warm-up episode

to get back into the swing of things.

It's gonna be a little looser than

yeah on the episodes I think. Yeah well today I wasn't really sure what I

wanted to speak about I know what I want to talk about today, but I've been having a hard time

expressing it. So we're going to go on hot water. I already know that.

I think everyone who listens to this show

knows that neither of us have any prejudices against anyone.

It's just to give the heads up.

And of course, there's gonna be people who take things out of context, which I'm sure will happen, but disclaimer.
