Fight or flight: Cathay Pacific
The Intelligence from The Economist 
About this episode
China’s central government has made an example of the huge, Hong Kong-based carrier. Will the ploy work to quell protests in the territory, or just further rattle the nerves of its international firms? We examine the spectacular rise of Pentecostalism in Ethiopia, and its effects on the country’s politics. And, the plight of the puffin in the Faroe Islands. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
