From the roots of the Chinese Communist Party to modern day tech dominance, this episode dives deep into how China became the powerhouse it is today. We explore the nation’s surveillance systems, censorship, and strict control over its citizens, including the stories of Uyghurs, Tibet, and the Hong Kong protests. The episode also covers China's relationship with Taiwan, its aggressive moves in the South China Sea, and how it influences neighboring countries like Russia and North Korea. We break down the rise of Chinese made luxury goods, the unique DIY iPhone culture, and how companies like BYD are competing with global giants like Tesla. This is the first part of a powerful series examining the global impact of a nation where everything seems to begin and where resistance, innovation, and control all collide.
