Inflection EP06: Hong Kong Uprooting US Meddling

Inflection EP06: Hong Kong Uprooting US Meddling | Week of 28 June-2 July, 2021

NOTE: Sorry about the audio. This will be fixed in future episodes. Shorter videos (with Thai subtitles) are coming this week and next week covering these same topics.

Inflection is a weekly show featuring Angelo Giuliano and Brian Berletic, discussing recent headlines and in-depth discussion of topics shaping the shift from West to East and unipolarism to multipolarism.

This week we will discuss Hong Kong’s ongoing efforts to fully uproot US meddling from within their territory - including the closure of Apple Daily - a notorious US-backed propaganda operation working to undermine Chinese sovereignty for years.

We also discuss the US closing Iranian media websites, high-speed rail reaching Tibet, and the UK’s SkyNews lying about “cultural genocide” in Xinjiang.
