About this listen

On May 4, 1919, thousands of Chinese students marched on Tiananmen Gate, not against their own government, but against Woodrow Wilson's broken promise of national self-determination. Richard Backus traces the direct line from that single day in Beijing to the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, and the US-China tensions that are defining our world today. This is the history lesson that explains everything you're reading in the headlines, and almost nobody in America knows it.
