In this episode, we spoke with Sui-Lee Wee from the New York Times Beijing Bureau. She talked to us about how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected her personally, and what it’s been like to cover the COVID-19 situation as a journalist. In the episode we refer to one of her stories, which follows two Chinese women who experienced very different fates from COVID-19.
