#42 | Red Tourists – Neo-Maoism, Lei Feng, Suzhou’s Gardens
China might be a big scary communist country to people in the West, but for Neo-Maoists the country has lost its way, and sometimes it seems that communism in China is more of a nostalgic indulgence. Apart from Mao, Lei Feng is the mascot of commie merchandise.
We also take a trip into the Humble Administrator's Garden, and the Suzhou Museum, before a dramatic race for the bus.
FYI: Songs that feature in this episode – 1, Without the Communist Party, there is No New China – 2, Learn from Lei Feng's Good Example
