Evolution of Modern China

Can the old leadership survive in the Chinese century?

For over 50 years, the Communists have stood firm, bringing in a period of rapid modernisation. But that modernisation is now at a critical stage, with China poised to lead a new world economic order. In the third programme of this four-part series, we ask how long can the old leadership survive, and look at some of the dilemmas facing the People’s Republic of China in what many expect to be a Chinese century.
