East Meets West

BBC Two - Reggie in China, Series 1, East Meets West

Reggie Yates visits Shanghai and Chengdu in search of new underground Chinese culture.

In this final episode, Reggie Yates visits Chengdu, meeting artists pushing government censorship to its limit, and to Shanghai, where Communist east meets decadent west.

In the final episode of the series, Reggie visits Shanghai, China’s largest city, and Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, to explore the fault line between modern day Chinese culture and strict censorship rules imposed by the government that are subject to change at a moment’s notice.

First, Reggie visits Red8 Records, a record label based in Shanghai, to learn more about the thriving rap scene in China, including the success of the wildly popular reality show The Rap of China. He meets rappers Al Rocco and Blow Fever, and learns more about the delicate balance between censorship and creative expression.
