What is China's political system really like? China’s Constitution calls for “leadership of the Communist Party of China” over a “system of multiparty cooperation and political consultation.” But could it actually have more “democratic” practices than the U.S.? Western media often frames China as a totally authoritarian top-down state, but this narrative doesn't explain the high levels of public satisfaction reported in studies like the one from Harvard. This week, Amanda Yee is joined by Paweł Wargan, Political Coordinator for the Progressive International, to debunk common Western myths and discuss the reality of China's governance model. The two dive deep into the country’s "whole-process people's democracy," how it functions, and why it enjoys widespread popular support. Read Pawel and Jason Hickel’s article “Building Whole-Process People’s Democracy in China” : https://progressive.international/blueprint/cb7dbaf4-b106-4105-8bde-fdab4bfc2fe8-building-whole-process-peoples-democracy-in-china/en Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a weekly show that provides an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about. We help you navigate beyond the headlines with expert analysis and on-the-ground perspectives.

What happened in Gaza after October 7, 2023 “changed the world, turned it upside down,” says Dr. Ghada Karmi. In this clip, she explains why the people of Gaza “did not die in vain,” how their suffering exposed the brutality of the Western order, and why the Global South now faces a choice: accept permanent subjugation or stand up with dignity against empire. Gaza’s sacrifice, she argues, has opened a historic debate about the future of the world — and a new order that must replace the rotten one we live under now.

Jenin Younes, National Legal Director at the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), joins the show to discuss the ADC’s lawsuit against California Governor Gavin Newsom over Assembly Bill 715 (AB 715), signed into law in October, which threatens to punish teachers for discussing Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Younes will explain how the law undermines free speech in schools by censoring discussions in public school about Israel, Palestine, and the Middle East, and why the ADC is asking the court to block it before it takes effect.

On The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 11/20 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, Rania Khalek and guest host Zoe Alexandra are joined by special guests: Human rights lawyer Craig Mokhiber joins the show to discuss the UN Security Council’s newly adopted resolution that effectively hands the U.S. control over Gaza. He breaks down what this colonial plan means for Palestine and the horrific absurdity of granting authority over Gaza to a co-perpetrator of the ongoing genocide. Kurt Hackbarth, host of Soberanía: The Mexican Politics Podcast, joins the show to discuss the so-called Gen Z protests in Mexico, where an alleged right-wing, foreign-funded destabilization campaign is raising serious questions about who’s really driving the unrest. Hackbarth will discuss what these demonstrations say about Mexico’s political moment — and the forces trying to shape it. Giorgio Cafiero, CEO of Gulf State Analytics, joins the show to break down Donald Trump’s meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, where the U.S. formally designated Saudi Arabia a major non-NATO ally. Coming on the heels of Trump’s talks with the new ruler of Syria and the Palestinian Authority’s endorsement of Washington’s Gaza occupation plan, Cafiero explains how these moves highlight how the region’s despotic governments are deepening their subservience to the U.S. despite widespread public outrage. Rania Khalek and special guest host Zoe Alexandra, Editor of Peoples Dispatch, break down the growing push to release the “Epstein Files,” Donald Trump’s escalating threats against Venezuela, and more of the day’s top stories Time Codes: 06:20 - Kurt Hackbarth 24:42 - Giorgio Cafiero 41:20 - Craig Mokhiber 1:13:08 - Rania and Zoe discuss Venezuela, Zohran backlash, Epstein and MORE! #breakthroughnews

Human rights lawyer Craig Mokhiber joins the show to break down the UN Security Council’s newly adopted resolution that effectively hands the U.S. control over Gaza — a move he says marks a return to 19th-century colonialism. He explains the horrific absurdity of granting governing authority to Washington, a co-perpetrator of the ongoing genocide, while stripping Palestinians of their right to self-determination. The resolution greenlights a U.S.-run administration atop an already-illegal Israeli occupation and creates a “stabilization force” aimed at containing the very population under attack. Mokhiber calls it a historic betrayal — a “day of shame” for the UN and a dangerous precedent for global human rights. #breakthroughnews

Farm debt is expected to reach $560 billion this year—a record high. But it's not just because of the trade war with China. Farmers told us it's because a handful of corporations have taken control of their markets to ensure they always win, and farmers barely break even.

Sign up for the Downstream Newsletter: https://novaramedia.com/newsletters/the-downstream-newsletter/ Support for the Green party in Britain has been steadily rising for the past few decades. However, few predicted that when Zack Polanski took office as Green party leader in September, membership would surge from 70,000 to 150,000 members in a matter of months. According to the latest polling, the party’s share of the vote has soared too: growing from 10 to 17 per cent. In front of a live audience at EartH Hackney, Zack tells the story of his first few months in office, and how the party’s plans from two months ago are already outdated. What are the core values, red lines and top priorities for the Greens in this new era? How broad a church will the Green party be? Is it a socialist party, or a party with socialists in it? And what exactly is their strategy to take on the floundering Labour party, as well as the looming threat of Reform? 00:00 Introduction 00:54 Breakdancing 01:38 Surging Polls, Growing Membership, Expanding Ambitions 06:52 How Broad a Church Is the Green Party? 11:12 A Socialist Party 13:27 Foreign Policy Versus Domestic Priorities 15:02 The Loss of Public Space Online & Offline 18:57 AI and the Future of Work 21:48 Zack’s Vision of the Good Life 24:37 Connecting Climate to the Cost of Living 27:23 Favourite Sci Fi 29:09 The Greens & the Trade Unions 32:49 Repairing Lost Trust in Politics 35:47 On Immigration 38:36 Why Should Anyone Vote Green?

Dayvon Love, Director of Public Policy at Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle (LBS), joins the show to discuss Governor Wes Moore’s veto of Maryland’s Reparations Study Bill (SB 587). The bill would have created a commission to develop a concrete roadmap for reparations for slavery and other historic and ongoing forms of systemic racism. Love explains why the veto blocks the only process designed to produce actionable proposals—from land and property acquisition to investment in Black-owned financial institutions—and why it undermines meaningful steps toward Black self-determination. He also breaks down the ongoing effort to override the veto and why building political pressure from a grassroots movement is essential to advancing the fight for reparations. #breakthroughnews
