Power Coupling: USA & China Talks
De-coupling is out, Power Coupling is in. The US-China relationship is as beautiful as it is complicated. Part of the problem is we don't get to talk to each other enough and learn from one another's daily life. We're here to change that! Through fun, friendly, and engaging dialogue, we seek to build bridges and better understand the people from these two countries and beyond. Let's get to know each other better and have some fun while we're at it! Your host Greg Garrigues invites all to listen in as we discuss a variety of topics that shape the our lives and cultures, particularly in the US and China. You'll learn something about each other, and sometimes, learn something about yourself. Tune in, come together, and start the conversation!

Episode 6
In this episode, Greg and Gabby discuss the phenomena of 'neijuan' (内卷) and why this concept is the buzzword of post-Covid China. We review:
- Just what in the world is 内卷? What's the association with the "rat race"?
- Is the idea of inner revolution present in the US also? How is it perceived in both countries?
- Are we, your humble hosts, guilty of getting swept up in neijuan?
- What does this concept and its prominence say about us as, supposedly, hard working people?
Tune in and find out about this fascinating topic!
