Global China into the 21st Century | World History Project

There is no doubt that China is a modern superpower and a hub of globalization, under the authoritarian rule of the Chinese Communist Party. But what does that actually mean for the Chinese people? Do they celebrate their new economic wealth? Or do they suffer under the weight of state surveillance and tight control? In this video, with the help of Dr. Crystal Chang, we explore the successes, and costs, of China’s great social contract.
