On this episode, Cyrus is joined by Hamsini Hariharan, host of the States of Anarchy podcast, a foreign policy researcher and journalist. Hamsini's research interests are Chinese foreign policy, Asian geopolitics and India's worldview. Hamsini and Cyrus talk about her podcast States of Anarchy, and discuss a lot about Chinese geo-political relations with India and the rest of the world, how Hamsini got interested in Chinese policy in the first place, idolising Kofi Annan very early in life, realising that most Indians know next to nothing about China, what working at a thinktank is like, and a lot more. The also talk about the similarities between Indian and Chinese culture, China's Hukou system, and many more fascinating topics.
