LYRICS:

Christmas Song

All I want fo Christmas,
iz some love and a bag o’ peanuts,
all my kids and da christmas family tree…
we be sippin on some eggnog.

Got the X-mas lights,
got da christmas decoration,
Santa Claus, Jesus Christ,

gotta make a separation.

…you from Beijing or you Haitian…

you be bangin on a Jason,

its too cold in the winter time

in Santa Claus’s mansion.

How many people on the planet Earth,

Look up in da sky and celebrate Christmas.

Look up in da sky its a bird its a plane,

…its Santa Claus on his slay throwin candy cane.

With his feet up in the air

like he just don’t care,

Mister Santa Claus

strong on da jingle and the bell
fat fingaz through da hair,

never lose a raindeer,

Santa Claus Jesus Christ

better check on your gear.

All I Want iz You / Christmas Song (FALCONmix)

SOULGOODS Mixtape Vol.32 by MeiXing

The sudden emergence of DeepSeek’s AI chatbot earlier this year reminded the world of just how fast Chinese technology is developing. But it’s also highlighted continuing tensions over China’s technological rise — US Vice President JD Vance recently spoke of America being in an ‘arms race’ with China for control of Artificial Intelligence: the US has banned the export of its most advanced chips to China, and is now trying to stop companies around the world from using China’s own latest chips. It’s also sanctioned numerous Chinese tech firms due to security fears. The EU meanwhile has imposed tariffs on imported Chinese electric vehicles, amidst concerns about unfair subsidies. But as its technology improves, is China winning the ‘tech war’? And what does this mean for Taiwan, currently the world’s largest chip manufacturer? These topics are explored in a new audio book, ‘Global Tech Wars - China’s Race to Dominate’, by James Kynge, who recently left the Financial Times, where he reported on China for almost three decades. Now a senior fellow at MERICS (the Mercator Institute for Chinese Studies) in Berlin, he discusses his findings with presenter Duncan Hewitt.

China's one child policy may have  ended a decade ago — but its consequences are still being felt — not least in the continuing gender imbalance in the country's population:  for several decades, the combination of restrictions on family size with traditional attitudes favouring male children, especially in rural areas, led to many female babies being aborted. China is currently estimated to have at least thirty million more men than women — and a new documentary film explores the impact this has had, particularly on young men from the countryside, who can struggle to find a mate in China's increasingly competitive dating market. Director Violet Du Feng, previously shortlist for the Oscars for her film 'Hidden Letters' about the secret Chinese women's language Nüshu, joins us to discuss 'The Dating Game', which follows three young men who go on a week long 'dating camp' run by a self-styled 'dating coach' in an attempt to reinvent themselves, and find love.
