Last time we begun to unpack the terror of the biggest smack dealers in history, The British Empire and their gunships. The opium war and the opening of the century of humiliation.

Today we see the response, the Qing's attempts to fight back, and the new modernist Chinese thinkers, many of whom have fled into exile, desperate for an alternative, it's here where we meet a Dr. Sun Yat Sen- Granddaddy, ney- Grandmeister of the KMT.

-

In this series, we hope to answer one particular question:

What happens when millions of defeated fascists are let loose across all of Asia?

This is the political overworld and the criminal underworld of the KMT. The Kuomintang.

Last week we saw the KMT's deep fraternité with opium, how it bloomed in the 1950's in the Golden Triangle and took over the Hong Kong movie scene in the 1980's.

Today though, we zoom right out, and go right back, to where it all began, to the first Opium War and the opening of the Century of Humiliation.

Three years after our Golden Triangle Series, we're back on the brown. The brown, the red, and the blue. The Kuomintang and their heroin empire.

-

In this series, we hope to answer one particular question:

What happens when millions of defeated fascists are let loose across all of Asia?

This is the political overworld and the criminal underworld of the KMT. The Kuomintang.

Today, we start in 1990s smacktown Hong Kong, where heroin is home. Once we're appropriately situated, we head back to the poppy fields of the Golden Triangle, what anthropologists call Zomia, we'll take a brief tour of the KMT's mafia tendrils worldwide, and prepare to zoom way out and into the Century of Humiliation.www.dindeng.com

We talk about the organising behind the recent mobilisation against the IMF and World Bank summit. The Larpers. The Haters. The literal posers. The opps. Etc. Its probably you. I'm sorry. Then I think we talk about Thaksinomics and then Chinese agrarian development.
