The Today programme this morning had an interesting discussion on China and the supposed "golden age" immediately after the 1949 revolution.
Both contributors to the discussion agreed that it was only a relative golden age (relative compared to the horrors that went before).
We still know far too little about current affairs in China.
Every week Dateline London discusses the Middle East. Every single week. You would think that the Middle East was the only region of the world that mattered.
I would prefer less focus on the Middle East and more awareness of China, India, Brazil and Russia - these are countries that are relevant to the United Kingdom.
