China Diary

on BBC One London

Morley Safer, C.B.S. News Correspondent, entered China on a tourist visa to compile this report on Communist China in the throes of the Chairman Mao's cultural revolution.
With British cameraman John Peters, Safer visited Peking, Shanghai, Canton, Sian, and Yenan, and rambled through villages, communes, schools, factories, and industrial exhibits. He also examined the influence of Mao's fanatical Red Guard.
