The Changing Face of China and its Impact on the World
China has gone through an extraordinary transformation in the past 25 years since Tiananmen Square. Chinese consumerism is soaring and a new opulent wealthy class has emerged. Dr. Perry Link joins Asia Society Texas Center to discuss the recent Chinese boom and what has transpired since Tiananmen Square. Is it a result of government policies or is it the actual Chinese people responsible for the changing face of China?
When:
September 23, 2014 7:00pm to 9:00pm

He has published in the fields of modern Chinese language, literature, popular culture, intellectual history, art, and politics.
