An interactive presentation and discussion on the paradox that China remains to be. Jonathan Geldart, author of The Thoughts of Chairmen Now and Notes from a Beijing coffee shop (a fascinating and well researched book full of insights about life in China) will discuss the truths about modern day China that have been felt across the developed world.
China remains an enigma to many. It is suspended in limbo between media reports and the filtered reality of friends and family visits. This enormous and complex country is either vilified for its shortcomings or praised for its vibrancy, culture and heritage. The truth lies somewhere in between.
