What are the CCP's international propaganda goals? How is it faring in the battle to define COVID-19's winners and losers?

We also go into tech and discrimination, stories from time working at China Daily and SmartAir, as well as Matt's favorite Overwatch characters.
The audio gets better in the second half I promise.
