In this episode we explore the mysterious and complex character of Lin Biao, and his even more mysterious demise. We ask how he rose to prominence so quickly after being a largely background figure in the party for so many years, and what effect his vice-chairmanship and sudden death had on the Cultural Revolution.
Also, no news, just:
Nearly 30 million people in China are locked up in their apartments without access to food and water while drones fly around and threaten them with fines if they leave their home. Many are jumping off their balconies to commit suicide. More news outlets should be covering this.
Have a good one,
