Description
Shanghai is almost unrecognizable to someone who last saw it nine years ago. Skyscrapers, cranes and motor -bikes dominate the urban landscape. The energy of an unproclaimed capitalism is reflected in the determination of street merchants and busy workers. In a short while the return to communism will be impossible. In neighboring Hong Kong the residents wait with anxiety for the impending annexation. If they have foreign passports they have nothing to fear. The others hope that the loss of democracy will not mean the loss of wealth and prosperity. Changes are so rapid that not even the leaders of China know where the ship of state is leading. Recorded on September 10, 1996.
