Christopherscience Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." -Chairman Mao I think a "truth about" on Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping would be illustrative of the power of liberalization vs state control. I know that the liberalization has slowed down since 2005, but I imagine there are a number of Chinese people who could be receptive to the message of freedom, through the object lesson of 1978-2005's growth. A "truth about" might miss the mark with English-speaking people, and it might be preaching to the choir for those who lived through the reform period, but... it's hard to tell if it would be a successful presentation. Regardless, it would be an interesting video. I would take this as inspiration: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2014/05/14/312488659/episode-337-the-secret-document-that-transformed-china Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autowagon Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I'd second that. The cultural revolution is a very interesting topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crallask Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Interesting - but research intensive. Just remember that these presentations take a shitload of work, research, recording, editing, production, etc. And we're always free to pitch in any time the user base wants to help.
