Reinventing China
Series Overview
China's history of the last 200 years seems like a boomerang, returning to the West what it once unleashed. The series reveals how devastating the struggles for identity and power have been for the population since the fall of the "Middle Kingdom," and how closely these tragedies are intertwined with our own. Great hopes were placed in a wide variety of visions for the future—and each time, bitter disappointment ensued. From the decline of the empire to its resurgence as a superpower, China's history is both a dream and a nightmare, in which human life is of little value.

Season 1, Episode 3: “Made in China (1966–2021)”
Mao's Cultural Revolution was intended to secure his power and claimed millions of victims. In the West, the "Great Helmsman" is romanticized by many on the left. But instead of socialist ideals, it is ultimately China's economy and its opening to the West that allow the country to rise to superpower status once again. The result is increasing prosperity and turbo-capitalism.
