Episode Synopsis


This week on Sinica, Kaiser chats with Christopher Rea and Bruce Rusk, both professors at the University of British Columbia, about their translation of Zhang Yingyu's Book of Swindles: Selections from a Late Ming Collection. Anyone who has lived in China in recent decades will understand intuitively why a podcast ostensibly about current affairs in China would want to talk about a 16th century book, but for anyone who doubts the relevance for today's China, we believe it all will become painfully clear as you listen.
