China: A Century of Humiliation - documentary

This documentary explores the fundamental differences between the Western and Chinese culture from early beginnings.

The film debates how Christianity and Confucianism were translated in political thought and social systems.

Next, the film investigates why the industrial revolution did not take place in China, despite its many early inventions, but in Europe.

China's century of Humiliation sheds light on the first economic and military encounters between the British and Chinese Empires through the eyes of Asian and Western historians. Trade deficits, war threats and reprisals have marked the 19th century as one of the bloodiest and most shameful in Chinese history.

Today, these past lessons can serve as an powerful insight for what the future might bring for China and the rest of the world.
