[Nick Hudson](https://x.com/NickHudsonCT?ref=jermwarfare.com), a close friend and sharp critic of globalist centralisation and engineered COVID narratives through his work with [PANDA](https://pandata.org.za/?ref=jermwarfare.com), dived into the tangled misconceptions about China, shredding the mainstream hype around its surveillance state and other anti-China talking points currently dominating social media.

As a slight plot twist, I invited him onto my show, but **he* wanted to ask *me** a few questions.
