in-depth, intelligent insights on
its economic, political and
cultural drivers. We're proud to
be the first international news
network to dedicate a regular
show to China, enabling viewers
within China's borders and
around the world to better
understand the country and its
people."
Lu Stout said, "China is a
country of dramatic change,
political intrigue, and dynamic
economic growth. I've been
writing and reporting about
China since the late 1990s, and
the nation continues to
fascinate me. I'm excited to
host a regular discussion on
current affairs and trends
inside China."
