Quantum is evolving. As from this episode we will be largely focussing on one subject. This week the subject is China - or the CCP - its threat to the West;China and Covid 19; the floods in China; the CCP and its military aggression; a Chinese poem; the CCP and the Church; Taiwan; Hong Kong; China and Australia; and the extraordinary story of the Chinese seeds!
We also remember Olivid De Haviland, Peter Green and consider a song with a message from Pink Floyd. Links for this episode can be found on the Wee Flea blog - www.theweeflea.com
