To this day, China remains a mystery to the west. It has a rich and ancient culture, and it is aspiring to become the leading superpower. But is China truly as peaceful and cooperative as it presents itself, or does it have other plans in store? By examining China's past, we hope to decipher the intentions of its leaders, and get a glimpse of its future. Please join us in this fascinating discussion, which covers five centuries of relationship between China and the west. It begins at the age of discovery, when Portuguese explorers first landed on the coast of China, takes us through the opium wars and the Taiping rebellion, and ends with the brutal events of world war 2.
