China is on everybody’s minds right now due to the coronavirus and the government’s ongoing efforts to control the narrative. This week, we speak with Josh from Travel China Cheaper & Far West China about his experience of life under constant surveillance in Xinjiang, the role western and Chinese media plays in controlling the coronavirus narrative, and the affect negative media portrayals can have on a country even decades later.
