Shadow War: 5. All That Glitters
How Britain and China launched a Golden Period. We hear from those involved as well those who think the UK compromised its values.
Could growing tensions lead to conflict? The rise of China is the defining challenge of our times – how far to co-operate, compete or confront? But has the West taken its eye off the ball? 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’ve been caught up in the growing tension between China and the West.
