Forging the Future. China's Industrial Heritage
Description
China's first industrial revolution occurred more than two millennia before Europe's. Today, there is a new wave of industrialization in China as the awakened dragon prepares to test its wings. This program draws on historical evidence and expert commentary to vividly illustrate China's early mastery of crucial industrial processes and to explain how they contributed to the wealth and progress of Chinese civilization. Pivotal events that hampered China's advancement in recent centuries and the country's move to regain its momentum as a world-class producer and an Information Age innovator are also examined.
