Excellent Analysis Einar, I was lucky enough to meet and travel through parts of Hunan with Miao and her incredibly hard working team - she is a focused young lady, one who knows what she wants, works very hard to get it and surrounds herself with like-minded people willing to endure very long hours, extreme hardshps and lengthy trips on the road - how she engenders that loyalty is something I can't understand but wish I had her abilities, stamina and integrity - she won't be "stage-managed" into viewing things through the lens that local government officials would like, she views things through her own lens and that of the people she takes with her. Therefore, I agree 100%, this is a video that can be trusted, relied upon and tells a truthful story, not what a lot of Chinese media likes to put out but a real and genuine, from the ground up view of China's governance in action - exactly what is needed - very hard to refute, showing the real China, showing the kind of places I cycle through and the sort of people I regularly meet when doing so.
An excellent “ground level” view into the nuts and bolts of contemporary governance with Chinese characteristics. Rich in detail and local insights.

Warwick and Einar… two of my absolute favorites. I've yet to see these two interviewed in tandem. That would be a priceless watch. 😉
We were in Yunnnan 2 months ago and visited several kinder gartens / preschools. This confirms their success!
