Melissa Chan is an Emmy-nominated journalist based between Los Angeles and Berlin. She has reported everywhere from Cuba to Canada, Mongolia to Moscow, North and South Korea. These days she focuses on transnational issues, often involving China’s influence beyond its borders, as well as the rise of global authoritarianism and ebb of democracies. She is currently writing a graphic novel, YOU MUST TAKE PART IN REVOLUTION, in collaboration with Chinese Australian artist Badiucao. Sold at auction to Street Noise Books (US), the work of speculative fiction is set for publication in early 2025. https://www.melissachan.com/about This episode was recorded on October 11, so if we sound a little October-ish, that's why. But don’t worry—everything we cover is still as relevant as ever. After all, some things just don’t go out of style, like Putin’s nuclear saber-rattling or Beijing’s geopolitical appetites! -------------------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL https://buymeacoffee.com/inthebunkerwithdarth https://www.patreon.com/c/IntheBunkerwithDarth    JOIN US ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@InTheBunkerWithDarth
