Talk by Cyril Philips, Professor of Oriental History in the University of London
Although during the last century China's isolation seemed to give way to Western penetration, China has managed to remain comparatively immune to Western influence, and has not only kept her independence but earned through a revolution. Is this Communist revolution outside the main stream of Chinese history? Or is it in keeping with what has gone before?
Professor Philips gives his own answer to this question by examining the history of the past thirty years and by considering especially the theories of Sun Yat Sen, Chiang Kai Shek, and Mao Tse Tung.
