Culture Jumpers takes a look at how the internet is different in China and why a simple dessert lands the country’s biggest influencer, Austin “Lipstick King” Li, in hot water. The hosts also look at what happens when American pop culture gets exported to China. How does Fight Club’s anarchist anti-hero hit in an authoritarian country? And could the TV show Friends be any more controversial?
