This episode features Yinuo Li, current China director of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, previous McKinsey partner, and one of the pioneers building bridges between China and the U.S. In this episode we discuss why Western media gets it wrong, why her grandmother bravely pulled a Mulan to gain education, and even why our professor has brainwashed us. We are excited to share the first episode of Ta for Ta!
Our episode features Tian Wei, anchor of World Insight with Tian Wei. World Insight is CCTV's prime talk show and a platform for debate on world news.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Alice Mong, Executive Director at Asia Society Hong Kong Center, amid their outdoor sculpture garden on a Friday afternoon. We talk about “being inspired” by Asia Society and how Hong Kong has spirit, but not yet soul.

We also get into the details of China’s current museum development and how China can deliver culture to the masses through non-traditional pathways. This is an episode you can’t miss...
Our episode today features Anla Cheng, Founder and CEO of SupChina - the premier digital news platform about China which aims to inform and educate an English speaking audience. What struck me about Anla is that she has such an incredible poise and presence, certainly acquired from much wisdom in both finance and journalism. We really dig into the importance of portraying China genuinely through the media, what it means to break through the "bamboo ceiling", and how resilience and courage key to a sustainable career.
In Ta for Ta’s debut episode on the Sinica Podcast Network, we featured Chenni Xu, a corporate communications executive and gender advocate. She moved back to New York after spending nearly a decade abroad in Beijing. Tune in to hear about the #MeToo movement in China and the proponents at the fore, Chenni’s views on gender inequality and professional representation for women, as well as her own experiences as a woman and an Asian American in China. Ta for Ta is a new biweekly podcast, which captures the narratives of women from Greater China at the top of their professional game. “Ta for Ta” is a play on the Chinese spoken language that demonstrates equality between the sexes. Tā 他 is the word for “he”; tā 她 is also the word for “she.” For more musings and links relevant to this episode of Ta for Ta, check out this post on Juliana’s Medium page.
