Another BP Podcast is up. You can listen on Libsyn, iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher. Probably the easiest way to keep up the podcast since we don’t have a regular schedule is to subscribe at one of the links above.
You can also support the podcast as a patron (the primary benefit now is that you get the podcasts considerably earlier than everyone else…).
This episode we talk to Carl Zha (a return guest) about the Pakistani bride controversy and China. A lot of the discussion involves general demographic concerns about Chinese society.
Also, I know that some listeners consider Carl to be a Chinese government operative or plant (at least on Twitter). In which case, we present here a representative here of the Chinese government!
Ultimately the key point for me is to get someone on who can watch the Chinese media, which is totally opaque to me.
We would definitely appreciate more positive reviews. Many of you listen to us, but don’t leave any reviews!
Addendum: This podcast, along with one other, has been on the patron page for several days. There are cases where the latency is very short due to the timeliness, but in other cases, it can be as long as a week or more.
“Chinese Muslims also have gender imbalance”
The gender imbalance appears to largely be a Han phenomenon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_administrative_divisions_by_sex_ratio
Considering Shanghai’s ultra-low fertility rate I’m surprised it has the most equal gender ratio of any >90% Han division.
college educated women migrating there at a higher rate?
Shanghai receives migrants from all over China. Not only Shanghai, but cities in area around Shanghai all receive influx from places like Sichuan, Jiangxi even Manchuria etc.
When I talk about Chinese Muslims, I am thinking about Ningxia and Qinghai (specifically Chinese speaking Hui Muslims) Xinjiang Turkic Muslim largely unaffected by 1-child policy so yeah
