The unmasking of China's secret cartoonist

Lives Less Ordinary - A podcast by BBC World Service - Mondays

Badiucao is one of China's most famous dissident cartoonists. His art is political and provocative - from poking fun at powerful Chinese figures like President Xi Jinping, to capturing the final days of Nobel Laureate Liu Xiaobo. For years, Badiucao operated in secrecy: he moved into exile in Australia, and wore a mask at public events to conceal his identity. In 2018 he planned his first ever solo exhibition in Hong Kong, but how would the Chinese authorities take it? Presenter: Neal Razzell Producer: Maryam Maruf (Photo credit: Getty Images.)
