Exclusive Podcast with Jean-Pierre Cabestan: Exploring the Latest Book “Deng Xiaoping, Revolutionary and Modernizer of China”.
In this new Asia Centre podcast, Jean-Pierre Cabestan, researcher at Asia Centre, sinologist at CNRS, and professor at Hong Kong Baptist University, takes us on a journey to discover Deng Xiaoping, a key figure in modern Chinese history. On the occasion of the release of his book published by Tallandier, he explores the many facets of this complex man: reformer, strategist, and pragmatic politician.
Through the questions of Alice Roth, a student at Saint-Louis University in Brussels, who conducted six months of field research in Hong Kong and Taiwan and serves as a liaison for Sparkers at Asia Centre, we compare Deng Xiaoping and Xi Jinping, analyze the impact of Deng’s early travels to France and the USSR, and discuss the Chinese perspective on human life. An intellectual and historical journey not to be missed!
