Introducing “Dissident At The Doorstep”

This podcast episode tells the story of Chen Guangcheng, a Chinese activist who escaped from his home and sought refuge at the US Embassy in Beijing. After arriving in the United States, he was greeted with a hero's welcome and became a symbol for freedom and democracy. However, his fame eventually subsided, and he settled into a quieter life in the States. In 2020, he made a surprise appearance at the Republican National Convention, where he spoke about the importance of standing up to tyranny.
