While travelling through China, I sat down with a veteran of good, old-fashioned journalism.
During September 2025, I spent a few weeks travelling across China, from Shanghai in the east to Kashgar in the west, and while in Kashgar, I sat down in a restaurant with Pepe Escobar.
Sitting down with Pepe in Kashgar, China.
Pepe is a Brazilian journalist and independent geopolitical analyst focused on Eurasia (Central Asia) and the Global South (countries generally considered to be economically underdeveloped or developing).
He serves as a columnist at The Cradle and editor-at-large at Asia Times.
Since the mid-1980s, he has lived and worked as a foreign correspondent in locations including London, Paris, Milan, Los Angeles, Singapore, and currently Bangkok. He has authored numerous books and is a frequent commentator on various news channels.

We’re constantly bombarded with fake news, propaganda, agendas, and outright lies.
It’s an information war.
What is true?
I don’t know either—but I’m trying to find out.
Ray McGovern briefed seven US presidents and now argues that his government lies and fabricates, has terrible foreign policy, and was involved in JFK's assassination. He's been arrested multiple times
He lives nearby, so I invited him to my local coffee shop for a live stream. We chatted about South Africa, chemtrails, UFOs, China, Tucker Carlson, shampoo, and a little about 9/11. Oh, and we discussed whether or not smoking causes cancer.
We keep hearing that China is colonising Africa and that we must watch it closely. But ironically, fixating on China creates a massive blind spot. The reality is that Western interests have long controlled Africa—and they’re determined not to lose that grip.
