by Fexingo
Deng Xiaoping stands as one of the most consequential figures of the 20th century, the architect of China's transformation from a Maoist isolationist state into a global economic powerhouse.

The show unpacks his famous policy of 'one country, two systems' for Hong Kong, his role in normalizing relations with the US and Japan, and the lingering debates over his legacy: did he lift hundreds of millions from poverty at the cost of political repression? Each episode delves into a specific facet of Deng's era, from the ho
