The Last Emperor and Empress at Home in the Forbidden City (with Paul French)
P
10:54Paul FrenchGUEST
That led to Britain taking Hong Kong.
P
10:57Paul FrenchGUEST
That led to the foreign powers, including America, taking what we call treaty ports, which most famously is places like Shanghai and Tianjin that were run as semi-autonomous territories.
P
11:08Paul FrenchGUEST
Places where Chinese law did not apply.
P
11:11Paul FrenchGUEST
So there'd been a gradual loss and many Chinese people felt that very deeply.
P
13:01Paul FrenchGUEST
And her name is Wanrong.
P
13:03Paul FrenchGUEST
Now, interestingly, Wan Rong, although her father had been a high Manchu official, very traditional in many ways, she had had a Western education.
P
13:12Paul FrenchGUEST
She had actually gone to an American missionary school in nearby Tianjin.
P
13:17Paul FrenchGUEST
And so she had experienced things like jazz records and ice cream and Western clothing and ridden around in cars.
Asymmetry in International Relations — Brantly Womack
B
16:07Brantly WomackGUEST
Now, they'll certainly find ways to distinguish themselves and not just in food from Paris.
B
16:16Brantly WomackGUEST
And the same is true if you go to China and go to Beijing, but then go to Tianjin.
B
16:22Brantly WomackGUEST
Tianjin's close to Beijing, but it has to maintain its autonomy, has to maintain its own identity.
B
16:30Brantly WomackGUEST
And that's true in lots of places.
B
16:33Brantly WomackGUEST
I gave a talk about asymmetry in one class, and the next day one of the students came up to me and said, asymmetry, that's me and my mother.
SSAB - November 3, 2026
S
25:52Steven SirskiHOST
This has me kind of wondering, going, so if someone were unlucky enough to have to transit through Beijing, they could actually, should I say fortunate enough to transit through Beijing, but they have a drone that they know they're going to use in Mongolia, how does that work? Before customs, is there a place to store your drone? Not only that, so the thing is, so I'm thinking logistically here, you land in China, you technically don't take the drone into China, the country because you check it.
S
26:26Steven SirskiHOST
Where can you leave it at the airport? Is the airport considered part of Beijing? And so you cannot even bring the drone with you, say flying from Canada, transferring through Beijing and then moving on to like Tianjin or to Mongolia or to South Korea or something like that.
S
26:45Steven SirskiHOST
Can you do that? Or is it that Beijing is simply not a transport hub anyway? So why would anyone ever be transferring through here? I don't know.
S
26:53Steven SirskiHOST
Question, there doesn't seem to be, I didn't find any information about this.

Last Days of Pekin-Pierre Loti
T
16:19Timothy FergusonNARRATOR
What they are doing today is called a peaceful capture, and it seems more like a celebration of universal fusion, of universal peace.
T
16:26Timothy FergusonNARRATOR
Yet not far from here, in the vicinity of Tianjin and of Peking, the country is in ruins and is strewn with the dead.
T
16:35Timothy FergusonNARRATOR
the necessity for occupying ninghia of holding it as a base of supplies has been impressed upon the admirals of the international squadron and day before yesterday all the ships had prepared for a struggle knowing that the forts on the shore were well armed but the chinese who lived here warned by an official that a formidable company of cuirassiers would appear at daybreak preferred to leave the place so we found it deserted on our arrival the fort which overlooks the shore and which forms the terminus of the great wall at its sea end has been declared international the flags of the seven allied nations float there together arranged in alphabetical order at the end of long poles guarded

From Grandpa Dante to star making: China's NPC craze
S
18:53Steve HatherlyHOST
Yeah, from that point of view, I agree.
S
18:55Steve HatherlyHOST
But do you think, Yuxin, that this is going to be something that sticks around? Because I saw, I was in Tianjin and I saw these NPCs for the first time.
S
19:05Steve HatherlyHOST
I didn't know they were NPCs.
S
19:06Steve HatherlyHOST
I thought they were people who lived in the house that everybody was taking pictures of and were just dressed in old style clothing.
Nagpur service gaps + Seoul station sentiment
S
4:25speaker_1HOST
For an agency, the useful map is where high population need, weak transit provision, and real facility capacity overlap, because that's where route expansion stops being abstract equity language and becomes a service plan.
S
4:38speaker_1HOST
That last Nagpur point about a bus stop not being the same as real access tees up this Tianjin paper nicely.
S
4:44speaker_1HOST
Non-linear effects of built environment on metro feeder bike sharing as a dynamic green exposure pathway.
S
4:50speaker_1HOST
The plain finding is that bike share feeding metro stations is doing two different jobs.
S
4:55speaker_1HOST
Connection frequency means how many bike trips link to the metro and that clustered in Tianjin city center.
S
5:01speaker_1HOST
Modal share means whether bike share is actually competitive with other feeder modes and that clustered more in suburban ring zones.
S
5:08speaker_1HOST
The drivers split pretty sharply.
S
5:32speaker_0HOST
But if they didn't measure actual cycling routes or health outcomes, how far can we really take the green exposure claim here?
