- China: A New World Order w/Lane
Screening & Discussion the BBC Documentary Series, Episode 1 of 3.
Six years ago, a man largely unknown in the west was given one of the most important jobs in the world. China’s new president, Xi Jinping, became the leader of a rising superpower, commander of a formidable military, and the head of an economy that’s crucial to people’s lives around the world.
This programme tells the extraordinary story of his controversial six-year rule, and how he set about transforming China into a tightly controlled state where loyalty to the Communist Party appears to be valued above everything else.
This third film explores the growing tension over allegations that the Chinese state has engaged in large-scale industrial espionage and hacking to steal the west’s business secrets.
