This week on Sinica, our hosts Kaiser Kuo and Jeremy Goldkorn are joined by Gady Epstein from the Economist and we turn our attention to the 18th Party Congress which officially started in Beijing earlier this week. As China's capital descends into the pomp of another ten year leadership transition, we take an inside look at all the news and rumor fit for podcasting as history unfolds in real-time around us.
