		<description><![CDATA[Peter Ford discusses China's unions, past and present:
"Once upon a time, when the Chinese Communist Party was fighting for a revolution, the trade unions that the party controlled were important pieces in the political chess game. Ever since 1949, however, the unions grouped in the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the only federation allowed to exist, have simply been pawns of the government. Totally toothless, they were reduced to the role of organizing works outings and putting up large character banners proclaiming the government's latest policies... But nowadays, the Chinese government is beginning to think twice about the social and economic costs of its headlong rush to development..."]]></description>

"The Cultural Revolution was raging in the late 1960s when the first American walked on the moon. Jia Weixin was then a university student, studying atmospheric physics. But in the Cultural Revolution's anti-intellectual environment, his classes kept being suspended, scientific advancement retarded, and he didn't let himself think about the significance of that event..."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Diane Zhang, daughter of a Red Army officer, traces her own long march to know her father better:
"'In school they made it, you know, a very heroic (journey). It's like only God can do it,' she recalls. 'You never thought, you know, your dad, somebody you know.'

Zhang's father was an officer in the Third Red Army Corps and one of the few who survived the entire 6,000-mile trek. Zhang still struggles to make sense of it.

'You know, my generation was brought up in Cultural Revolution. We don't give a damn to the older generation — you're liars; you painted a perfect world but look at what the reality is (that) you gave us,' she says.

Her father was later jailed during the chaos of the Cultural Revolution, and Zhang couldn't understand her father's loyalty to the party..."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The growing number of Han Chinese in China's West is bringing prosperity and unease to the area:
"But stroll around the shops and markets here in Xining – and you'll find relatively few Tibetans running their own shops and businesses. Even the stalls selling Tibetan crafts in this open market are run by Han Chinese and Hui Muslims. The few Tibetans who are here are either buying a few supplies, to bring back out to the countryside – or, like this man, begging."]]></description>

"Liu Xiang had become a symbol -- a symbol of China's rise, a symbol of China's, sort of, muscularity in the international arena. And for him to walk away from the blocks really hit people hard here."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the show "Certain ideas of Europe," Mark Leonard, author of 'What does China think?,' poses a new challenge for Europe and the West:

"One of the big challenges for the West, actually, is to try and put a wedge between Russia and China and to stop them forming a sort of axis of sovereignty which scuppers the shift toward a more liberal world order that we saw in the 1990s."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All four of the US Olympic ping pong players are from China:

"Gao used to play for China and won a silver medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. She moved to the United States to get married but says playing pingpong in the States is frustrating.

In China, pingpong is a serious sport and even watched on television. But in the U.S., it's more likely to be played in a basement.

'Table tennis in the U.S.,' Gao muses. 'I cannot say it's dead, but it's really no good.'

Gao says the U.S. competition is so poor she has to spend most of the year in Shanghai to keep her skills up."]]></description>
