mao, at this point, was aging.was already in his 70s and he looked on the culture revolution to rejuvenate that revolutionary spirit he instituted in china when he came to power with the communists in 1949. >> elizabeth cobbs, this building behind us, the u.s. capitol, did 1968 change congress? >> you know, the riots came to washington, d.c. itself. and so i think what you had was this extraordinary turmoil within the capitol and, of course, president nixon was elected in 1968. it was just a terribly tumultuous time. >> from your standpoint? >> similarly, in the case of washington, d.c., you know, there's violence on the streets. there were protests against the vietnam war but also, you know, protests sparked here in the aftermath of martin luther king's assassination. for people who lived through those events, they often remember, as one of the callers mentioned, this rapid chain of events. it seemed that one thing would ease and then suddenly a new crisis would develop. >> but the great difference is that we're s

he is supportive of feminist research relationship, but because he doesn't think mao could win and a still testing the cooperation, with draw supporter tries to kind of restrained the chinese communist, it is really a cc than getting closer to victory that the soviet support increases. this is a source of huge resent and on the part of mao, which leads to 25 years later, which will be between marshall and mixing, no other senior americans. it is really this amazing goal. when you get there, a big source of that is feeling stalin wasn't there during the revolution and it's clear the chinese communists are going to win. >> any other questions? sure, yes sir. >> you know, the sobol of communism. in your research, i have not read about his relationship with macarthur in japan. did that in any way influence or impact will occur if he was doing in japan could either have some lessons are not lessons for his mission in china. >> marshall macarthur made a couple times during the mission. he stopped at least once to see him on his way back to china. the difference, and which they both said we

there's le zuan toasting with mao, and there's le zuan with mao and other high-ranking people from china. the chinese would, again, provide the bulk of the small arms used by communist forces to go after american troops in southern vietnam. the bottom two photos, i got from the vietnamese archives. i don't know how well you can see but the rectangular one with all the guys, le zuan and mao are holding hands. you know, it's -- it's happened, like, whenever people get friendly in parts of asia, it's never boy holding hands with girl, right, unless you're -- but guy-guy, if you're good friends, you hold hands, and it's -- and that's -- so the whole idea is to show the solidarity between the vietnamese and the chinese, right? they were as close as lips to teeth. that was the big thing they would always say. as lips to teeth. by most accounts, and i -- i kind of agree with that. the turning point of the vietnam war is the 1968 tet offensive. for reasons we touched upon earlier, hanoi mashing the americans, man for man and gun for gun, by late '67, early '68, the war is basically at an impasse

because, for example, in the soviet union, and equally in places like mao's china, people were calledsify their own experience, to lie in the service of the state, to say things they needed to say and not stand up when they should have stood up. i wonder if it's your analysis, if you look around the world today, particularly the western world, where you focus your attention upon, you see a real danger of some sort of renewal of a neo—marxist tendency in society. you certainly see that in universities, the universities in north america and to some degree in europe as well, are, especially in social sciences and humanities, completely dominated by left—leaning political agenda, the stats on that are crystal clear and most of that has been generated byjonathan haidt and the heterodox academy. there are very few centrists or right—leaning people in the academy, and that means that the discourse on campuses has become increasingly radicalised. the problem i have with that isn't the fact that it's left—wing, it's the fact that it is extreme and if the same was happening on the right i would

i'm debra mao. the u.s.errorists as trade tensions are escalating rapidly. washington will target an additional $16 billion of chinese goods on thursday and beijing has already said it will hit back. the feeling is growing in china that the terrorists have less to do with the trade deficit and more with president trump's desire to for china's rise as a global power. new storms have hit the chinese island for lombok. the quake hit sunday evening and was followed by his. reason aftershocks. one person died during the biggest in nearly 100 houses were severely damaged. it killed 460 people. is new italian government moving ahead with plans to revoke the concession of the company that runs a stretch of highway in genoa where a bridge collapsed. the deputy prime minister says the company must compensate victims in rebuild roads. they have already offered more than half $1 billion in terms of compensation to the area. a former cricket star has been sworn in as the prime minister of pakistan, promising to stamp out

. >> another key player is chinese leader mao. >> china had been plunged by mao into a cultural evolutionÃrevolution in 1966 and that was a very harsh time for china. there had been millions who died in starvation and famines caused by his policies in the late 50s and early in the 60s. but what happened in the cultural revolution, and some ways, was even more dramatic, even though there were fewer people who died, there were still vast numbers and it was in the most grisly way, often through ritual torture, and through humiliation of people, campuses were occupied by people who were then professors , which would affect -- out into the open and they would be degraded and often beaten violently and sometimes killed, so it was an extremely violent and chaotic event in china, and mao was very much at the center of that. malcolm at this time, was aging, he was already, by this point in his late 70s, and he has seen the look on the cultural revolution as a way to rejuvenate the evolutionary spirit that he had instituted in china when he came to power with the communists in 1949. >> mark kramer,

that has a long historic provenance it goes back to the french revolution and goes back to stalin and mao when the president attacks journalists we question his motivation at this point you could dismiss the comments simply as media oversensitivity or biased against donald trump however whether it's media partisanship or trumps behavior it seems pretty clear that public support for freedom of the press is stark now at this point less than half of americans say they believe the mainstream media is working hard to engage in honest reporting now what's more shocking is that twenty six percent of americans more than a quarter say the. i believe that the president should have the authority to shut down any media outlet that isn't gauging in what they call bad behavior now it's not surprising that most of these lidia's haters are republicans and it's no secret what outlets they want shut down. do you think that's surprising to you do you think a lot of americans agree that the media outlets should be shut down i do i think those smart if you're smart and you have a good mindset where you see di

those sorts of books that go into great detail about the dangers of marxism, talk about the history of mao'st union. there is a political content to your book and i wonder why you are so preoccupied by reminding your individuals so repeatedly and so often about the dangers of totalitarian communism. well, i am not. there is only a section in one of the chapters that deals with that, although there are motifs that run through it but it is more of a matter about being concerned with collectivist ideological ease and the dangers of it as a means for guiding yourself through light. —— ideologies. 0ne guiding yourself through light. —— ideologies. one of the failures that characterised the communist totalitarian state and equally on the fascist side was the failure of individual character. for example, in the soviet union and equal in places like china, people were called upon to falsify their own experience, to lie in the service of the state and not stand up when they should have stood up. if you look around the world today, particularly the western world, where you focus your attention upon, y

the democratic party is still reeling a little bit, bristling at the idea that when mao ones the civil war in china, the democratic party gets blamed for the loss in china. we saw what happened in the korean war. this korean war, korean conflict will definitely be on johnson's mind, because the thought is, we don't want to get in that situation again, and remember, when we talked about the korean war, specifically the advance beyond the 38 up to the chinese border to the river and what was the response from the chinese? so the americans are thinking about the korean war, especially johnson, the idea that maybe the chinese can get involved. and then, when we had our lesson on cold war, we discussed the cuban missile crisis, this idea that the world was on the brink of exchanging nuclear weapons, of getting in that ultimate conflict, and it scared people, and johnson's alphabetffected b also. so that gives you an idea of why he wants to try to keep things tempered down. he doesn't want to get a sense of expanding the war, and we'll see how his operation falls into that constraint. and th

accumulated a lot of power from self and really brought back a lot of worries that china like it did under mao is descending into a personality cults. they have can always been reports every so often about divisions within china's communist party about cracks beginning to show how do you how do you balance the with the fact that the president has a very strong grip on power in the country and there is a great deal of influence concentrated in his hands. so it's always really difficult to know which reports to believe about what's happening at the top of the chinese communist party it's one of the world's most opaque institutions and on the one hand it's incredibly important and powerful the other hand we really know so little about what's going on so i think what we try to do as we're looking at reports that are coming out about hey maybe she is losing some of his power or maybe he's no longer as influential as he once was is to try to say ok this is a good piece of information is a good potential rumor and let's just stack this against all the other things that we have and try to come up with
