Eight programmes on the evolution of contemporary China 1: The Break-up of Old China and the Origins of Revolution: 1840-1912 by RICHARD HARRIS
Asian specialist of The Times
The scale of China's revolution is sometimes underestimated. This programme shows that what is happening is nothing less than a civilisation renewing itself in the face of the West's incursion in the nineteenth century; and this will be achieved in China's own way, even though communism is based on a Western doctrine.
