About this episode
Overview on Chinese History over the course of 4000 years. About half is an overview of ancient China to the Opium Wars, setting up the context for what happens in the 19th century when European imperialism comes to China. The underlying cultural traits of the Han Chinese people are discussed, as well as their different philosophies, perceptions of self, hierarchy, and the perceptions of those around them, Korea, Japan, etc.
The rest of the podcast is a description of the situation in China during the Opium Wars, the destruction of the Qing dynasty, and the struggle for power culminating in the Chinese Communist Party ruling over mainland China. Within that history is the factions, men and women, and outside events and technology that influenced the shift, and the collective trauma of the Chinese people at multiple civil wars and foreign invasions.
