About this listen
Damian dives into an eye-opening report from the Washington Post revealing a surprising new trend: an influx of middle-class Chinese migrants entering the U.S. through Mexico. This unprecedented migration is driven by a combination of economic slowdown in China, a decoupling from the West, and the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Chinese social media platforms, these migrants navigate a journey of thousands of miles, arriving with detailed plans and expectations. Damian examines how this shift reflects deeper economic and political changes in China and what it reveals about the porous nature of modern borders.
In a heart-wrenching turn, Damian shifts focus to a tragic incident in Southport, England, where a stabbing at a summer dance school has left the community reeling. The attacker, a 17-year-old with Rwandan heritage, has become a focal point for anti-immigrant rhetoric, igniting debates about race, migration, and historical injustices. Damian delves into the broader implications of this incident, exploring the historical context of colonialism and the legacy of the Rwandan genocide. He argues a more nuanced understanding of both the individual and systemic factors at play.
