China's Challenges II E03: Does China's civilization matter? 中国，文明依旧重要吗？

How important is China’s 5000-year history, and the country’s grand millennia-long civilization, for China’s reform, development and modernization? This episode explores the revival of Confucian thought, the popularity of Western classical music, the tensions between east and west during the construction of the Shanghai Tower, and Chinese modern art, which utilizes Chinese characteristics instead of imitating its western equivalents. In the process of reconstructing Chinese civilization, faced with various challenges, how can traditional values be reinserted into modern society? How should China handle encroaching Western pop-culture? How can China create a unique identity connecting its past and future and realize its dream of becoming a civilization state?
