This lecture series covered something I'd never encountered except at the most high level or tangentially in history classes or other reading -- just what happened to China to go from essentially the most developed nation in the world, to sick man of Asia, to nearly a century of turmoil to modern China. The author/lecturer is a UCLA scholar who has focused on China, and was involved in many of the US contacts with China throughout the last 50 years, so he's particularly well suited to present this material. Modern Chinese history is much more complex than you'd assume by just looking at it today (or comparable Russian history from 1917 to 1989), and seemed very path dependent. CCP had more internal challenges than it would appear from outside, and a lot of the big events (Long March, Cultural Revolution, Democracy protests and Tiananmen Square crackdown, Taiwan/Hong Kong situation, Uighurs) are less monolithic than I'd thought. It's a pretty long lecture series, and still doesn't cover China pre-1800s. I'll probably try the "China from Yao to Mao" series next, and then try to find more specialized books about specific topics, but for modern China, this seems to be a relatively balanced and comprehensive overview. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Which leads to the conclusion that while China is in a dominant global position, based on history that position is more precarious perhaps, than the CCP realizes.
