YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In the US and China, there are housing crises but they have different histories and roots. How many homeless people are there in China? As housing prices across the globe skyrocket, we take a look at the way that the U.S. government and the Chinese government have approached the issue of housing and homelessness.

We are joined by Will Merrifield, Director of the Center for Social Housing and Public Investment, and Ma Xiaofeng, content producer on Bilibili, to dive deeper into the root causes of the housing crisis in the United States and China.

Overlap is a global conversation show based on a simple concept — while US elites are working to build a new Cold War environment with China, we want to do the opposite, with people-to-people dialogue and virtual exchanges that show how much we have in common, and how much we have to lose from a new policy of isolation and demonization. This show is made in collaboration with our friends at WaveMedia @WaveMedia, a private media house in China.
