Voices from the New Revolution
2 x 52'
In Search of China is an uncensored look behind the scenes of the new Chinese Market Economy. The programme makers have access to companies and ordinary people's views that have been previously off-limits to the western world.
This timely series shows the reality of the day-to-day business of people and companies engaged in a dynamic economic transformation of one of the most populous countries on earth.
We see China's embrace of capitalism by meeting people who have succeeded and others who have suffered. From the new breed of Chinese entrepreneurs and the growth of private business to the restructuring of state-owned enterprises and the tragedy of unemployed workers, these unforgettable people personify China's dynamic emergence as a world power while undergoing one of the most extraordinary economic and social revolutions the world has seen. Through their stories we learn what the new economy may presage for the future.
