Charlie Kirk Murder, TikTok 'Deal', Palestinian Struggle, and Forgotten WW2 History | Roughly Chinese Pod EP8

In this episode of Roughly Chinese Podcast, we sit down with Mr. Carl Zha, host of the Silk and Steel podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation that spans hidden chapters of World War II history, the significance of September 18 in China, and his family’s personal stories of survival. We also dive into the TikTok 'deal' and what it reveals about Washington’s anxieties over China’s rise, explore Beijing’s long-standing support for Palestine and the global struggle against imperialism, and reflect on America’s deep polarization, healthcare failures, and contested notions of freedom.
