Hello, everyone, welcome to “Inconvenient Truths”. I am your host Jennifer Zeng.

Like I promised last time, today I will talk about the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP’s recent crackdown on English study, out-of-school training, as well as foreign training materials and courses. I will tell the true stories of Alibaba’s founder Jack Ma, a Chinese writer, as well as my story to illustrate the possible reason why the CCP would suddenly crack down on these. The stories are exclusive that you won’t hear anywhere else. So make sure you stick around till the end.
