This lecture explores how China has long struggled for internal sovereignty, but as the world cautiously watches the rise of China, the CCP faces its complexities and contradictions on the global stage. Often oblivious and usually insensitive to the hopes and needs of ethnic minorities, the PRC claims they are zhong guo ren, Chinese People with Universal Values. What casual observers perceive to be “One China” is indeed a fragmented society bound by the crushing chains of the CCP.
This lecture is also available on my AP GoGoPo podcast.
