China

The Beijing Olympic Games has been a catalyst for my interest in studying China, but this does not really explain why I have created a page about China. Like most beginnings, it emerges out of an interest to catalogue the range of resources I have developed on a subject, which reveal my proximity to it. Over the last year, the UK media seems to have increased its coverage of China issues. This clearly derives from the poltical climate that is sweeping many countries, but the more intriguing responses are found in the media programming where we are beginning to see a new range of documenaries and films.
