China Rising: Power and the People-video

From the ruling Communist Party to filmmakers and bloggers, more and more people in China are looking to get their voices heard.

As blogs look to exploit their political potential and grassroots protests and mass incidents continue to increase in numbers, we analyse  how the country run and how do the people get their say.

In this episode of China Rising , we look at how the people of one of the world's most powerful, yet closed states, manage to reach the masses.

We interview authors who struggle with censorship and self-censorship, and examine the country's thriving film industry, which seeks to top Hollywood.
