80: How China spun the COVID-19 narrative, with Manoj Kewalramani

How big of a threat was Covid-19 to the communist party? How did the pandemic affect China’s standing in the world? And how effectively did it actually manage to handle it? In this episode, Sandip talks to Manoj Kewalramani about China spinning the Covid-19 narrative to its advantage, whether it has worked, and his latest book Smokeless War: China's Quest for Geopolitical Dominance.

Manoj Kewalramani heads the China Studies programme at the Takshashila Institution.
