China's Values in the Twentieth-Century and Beyond with Professor Rana Mitter 

How did China become a communist nation?
Why did it open its doors to the west for trade?
How has its relationship changed with the rest of the world in recent decades?
Will there be a decoupling between China and the west?
What are China’s values? And how do those values compete with each other?
These are some of the issues that I recently discussed with Rana Mitter, Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China at University of Oxford.
Rana is one of the most respected voices on modern Chinese history and politics in the west.
If you have any interest in China’s past, present and future then this episode is a must-listen.
