Moe begins today's show with his 'Moe-ment of Truth," where he talks about how we as Americans cannot afford to sit on the sidelines and expect our democracy to survive without our involvement.
For the remainder of the show, Moe is joined by leading China expert, advisor to the World Health Organization, and Founder and Chair of OneShared.World, Jamie Metzl.
With the 2022 Winter Olympics set to begin tomorrow in Beijing, Metzl is calling the Beijing games “a mockery of the Olympic spirit.”
He says that China is doing everything possible to prevent the media, corporate sponsors, athletes, and most everyone else from actively discussing the many dark manifestations of Chinese government actions, including mass human rights abuses in Xinjiang and Tibet, the hollowing out of civil society and the destruction of democratic rights in Hong Kong, the illegal seizure of territory in the South China Sea, military aggression across the Taiwan Strait and on the Chinese border with India, and the prevention of any meaningful investigation into the origins of COVID-19 in Wuhan.
A fierce but fair critic of the Chinese government, Metzl just released an explosive article on his blog stating that the fact these games are going forward regardless of very significant human rights and other concerns “raises fundamental questions about the accountability of the Olympic movement” and that the International Olympic Committee’s inaction “unfairly and inappropriately transfers all of the pressure of supporting the principles of the Olympic movement to athletes, sponsors, and others.”
Moe and Jamie also analyze how Beijing and the Chinese government are preventing media, corporate sponsors, athletes, and most everyone else from actively discussing the many dark manifestations of Chinese government actions, including mass human rights abuses in Xinjiang and Tibet, the hollowing out of civil society and the destruction of democratic rights in Hong Kong, the illegal seizure of territory in the South China Sea, military aggression across the Taiwan Strait and on the Chinese border with India, and the prevention of any meaningful investigation into the origins of COVID-19 in Wuhan.
