China's Good War, with Rana Mitter and Gideon Rachman
b"For most of its history, the People\\u2019s Republic of China limited public discussion of the war against Japan. It was an experience of victimization\\u2014and one that saw Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek fighting for the same goals. But now, as China grows more powerful, the meaning of the war is changing. In this week's episode Rana Mitter argues that China\\u2019s reassessment of World War II is central to its newfound confidence abroad and to mounting nationalism at home.
