Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.83,0:03:12.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that sound eerily Orwellian
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.03,0:03:14.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when you think \Nabout who’s doing the teaching.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.31,0:03:38.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Good rule of thumb, whenever you see the word “management”
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.01,0:03:41.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for anything \Nconnected to communism, think “control”.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.08,0:03:50.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What’s really interesting is that these \Ntraining programs

Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.52,0:03:54.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about promoting Chinese authoritarianism.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.95,0:03:57.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They seem to have another purpose:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.60,0:04:01.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,helping China spy on the countries it’s teaching.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.80,0:04:04.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which is shocking, I know.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.64,0:04:16.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The worst part is, it isn’t even really \Nspying.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.30,0:04:18.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because the officials in these nations
