As usual, great reading. Please pay attention to

the following:

1. the 1st "s" in "resisted" (as in "Intellectuals resisted fiercely") and the 2nd "s" in "overseas" (as in "This set China apart from Hong Kong, Taiwan and most overseas communities") should have the "z" rather than the "s" sound.


2. It may be a unconscious slip on your part, but "women" in "asking women to revive the practice of foot-binding" should be pronounced different from "woman".

3. I did not hear the "r" sound in "number" or the "g" sound in "changes".

Just my 2 cents.
