Though thousands of miles apart, China and Paraguay share surprising similarities in their food cultures, traditional medicine and everyday life. In this episode, host Pablo Coppari joins Yehimy Alison, a Paraguayan cultural figure who has visited China, to explore Market 4 in Asunción, Paraguay's capital.
