Summary
China is pushing hard to play a greater role in international affairs, often at the expense of the United States. It sees itself as a peace-broker and an initiator of dialogue between quarreling nations. But what is the ideology which guides grand plans such as Xi Jinping’s Global Security Initiative? Regular host Duncan Bartlett is joined by Steve Tsang, Director of the SOAS China Institute.

Ep28: The Christian church in China
Release Date: 08/17/2021
Description: Christianity has enjoyed a major revival in China in recent years. However, the relationship between the Christians and the Communists is growing increasingly uneasy. Given Christianity’s association in many Chinese people’s minds with western values, the line between religion and politics sometimes becomes blurred. In some places, particularly Zhejiang province, churches have been demolished and crosses torn down, drawing condemnation of China from religious leaders abroad. Stephen Chan, Professor of World Politics at SOAS, discusses China and Christianity with podcast host, Duncan Bartlett. China In Context: Episode 28 Broadcast date: 17 August, 2021

Ep39: Is China seeking revenge for a "century of humiliation"?
Release Date: 11/02/2021
Description: China's leader Xi Jinping often visits museums and his speeches are full of analogies from history. His books, such as the Governance of China suggest he seeks to learn lessons from history as a way of deciding how China should be run today. One of the themes which often comes up is China's so-called “Century of Humiliation". Dr Andrea Janku, a Senior Lecturer in the History of China at SOAS, University of London, explains the significance of the concept to podcast host, Duncan Bartlett.

However, many Hong Kongers feel their basic freedoms have been curtailed and there’s been a backlash against China from democratic countries, including America and the UK.

Ep35: Keeping China fed
Release Date: 10/05/2021
Description: No country in the world has experienced famines as severe as the ones which cost tens of millions of lives in China in the middle of the last century. Yet now China proudly claims there`s more than enough food for all its citizens and even plenty left over. As people get richer, their taste changes. That means more fish and meat on the table and it also increases demand for foreign treats.
