Roger Huang is the author of Would Mao Hold Bitcoin? And an expert on the intersection of Bitcoin and China. In this episode, we discuss China's economic turmoil, the implications of the property bubble collapse, and how deflation is shaping the nation's future. We also get into Bitcoin's role in China, the government's mining ban, the legal and cultural dynamics of Bitcoin adoption under authoritarian control, the CCP's strategic approach to CBDCs and the geopolitical game surrounding Bitcoin.
