The Triumph of the West

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A view of world history in 13 parts by John Roberts. 11: The East Is Red
For centuries, China thought of itself as 'the Middle
Kingdom,' the centre of the world. But in the end she had to give way to the West. From the coming of the Portuguese, to the Opium
Wars and the Siege of Peking, China has been assaulted by Western forces and ideas, not least those of Marxism. The adoption of Communism was, says John Roberts , an event in world history to match the Reformation or the rise of Islam.
