The piece was recorded and produced in Melbourne on the land of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong People of the Kulin Nations, with additional recordings from Gadigal land, Lenape homelands (New York City) and Tio'tia:ke (Montreal).

C'est aussi l'histoire d'un homme demeuré dépendant de son prédécesseur Jiang Zemin, qui lui avait miné le terrain afin de rester le calife à la place du calife.

Les Chroniques d'Eric bonjour, Monsieur Jiang ZeminPourquoi la Chine, aujourd'hui ultra autoritaire mais qui dans les années '90 tolérait de larges plages de liberté, est-elle devenue si dure avec elle même comme avec les pays étrangers ? Une des réponses tient à Jiang Zemin, président et n°1 du Parti de 1989 à 2003, et l'homme par qui le changement a débuté. Un être complexe, parfois attachant, mais aussi avant tout un tyran, ayant appris sur le tas la règle n°1 du métier : éliminer ses rivaux, et jouer des hommes et des factions pour garder le pouvoir !
