This episode is the first in the series on the People's Republic of China, the starting point for the modern China that we know today, still ruled over by the same Communist Party.

This episode serves as an update, as well as an introduction to the structure of the Chinese state and the main characters we'll need to keep in mind moving forward (it's more interesting than it sounds I promise!). This episode also gives an overview of the topics that we'll be covering in the upcoming months, including how the CCP ran their propaganda and mass campaigns, how they dealt with ethnic minorities in regions such as Tibet and Xinjiang, and how they brought the cities onside while simultaneously dismantling all capitalist forms of business.
