Shadow War: The Escape
A near miss in the skies over the South China Sea. And how the Hong Kong handover led to fierce disagreements over how to deal with the incoming power.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Security Correspondent Gordon Corera looks at the points of friction in recent history, from espionage to free speech, the battle over technology and claims of political interference. This is a story about the competition to shape the world order. He speaks to politicians, spies, dissidents and those who have been caught up in the growing tension between China and the West.
