About 老夏評時政

Lao Xia (老夏評時政, @xyl2019) produces long-form Chinese-language commentary on Chinese politics, US elections and Cold War-era history, typically 15 to 40 minutes per video, mostly talking to camera with a low-production setup. The channel has published 834 videos since December 2018, but has had no uploads in the last 90 days, so recent activity should be checked before booking.

The audience is estimated to be Chinese speakers in the United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China, leaning male and aged 25 to 44. Median views sit near 2,900 per video, with occasional spikes such as a 297,537-view leadership analysis in July 2024. The channel also offers paid consulting on migration and relocation topics, per its description.

Brand work is not visible in the data. Sponsored integrations are estimated at $150 to $250 per video, which at this median reach works out to roughly $50 to $90 CPM against a typical $10 to $30 paid-ad CPM. Brands targeting Chinese-speaking audiences in politically sensitive niches, or relocation and education services, may find it useful.
