Radio 4 Reports on The Third Great Power
Tomorrow China celebrates the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Peoples Republic. Pre-war China was corrupt, inefficient, disunited, and racked by intermittent famine and bloody campaigns. The Government's writ never ran over more than part of the country. Now China is better governed than she has been for a century and her rulers feel powerful enough to dispute the might of the USSR
This programme assesses the achievements of Chairman Mao and his fellow revolutionaries Presented by DAVID WILSON ,
Editor of the China Quarterly Produced by KEITH HINDELL and EDITH TEMPLE ROBERTS
