A man who alternately goes by Laowhy86, C-Milk, or Matthew Tye is no stranger to walking in different worlds. For 10 years, he shared his experiences of an American living in China as one of the first YouTubers in the country, offering a unique perspective on the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of life there.

But things changed when Laowhy86 attracted the attention of the Chinese Communist Party and he had to flee the country — barely escaping with his freedom. On this episode, we discuss how Laowhy86 went from lifestyle vlogging about quaint cultural differences to covering things mainstream journalists couldn’t (or wouldn’t) touch, how the Chinese social credit score system works, what Russia has done to bolster its propaganda machine with the help of the CCP’s blueprints, and much more. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
