37th & The World: Civil Society Despite Censorship and Protest in Modern China
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In a country often described as tightly controlled and politically sealed, protest still happens — thousands of times a year. So what does dissent look like under censorship, and how do citizens organize when visibility itself is risky?
Chinese civil society has long been a topic of domestic tension. In this episode, GJIA sits down with expert Kevin Slaten to address his work on the topic. From the root causes of citizen unrest and the role that external organizations play to data tracking methods employed by the China Dissent Monitor, listen to 37th & The World and learn more about the reality of protest across China.
Kevin Slaten is the Director of the Freedom House China Dissent Monitor, focusing on East Asian civil society and domestic repression in China.
