Frank Dikötter, author of China After Mao: The Rise of a Superpower and The People's Trilogy, joins The Realignment to discuss how unprecedented access to Chinese archives during the brief 2000s-2010s period of openness offers a corrective to the conventional wisdom in the West about China's post-1976 ambitions. Frank and Marshall also cover what questions future researchers should study should the archives ever open again, particularly relating to Zero-COVID.
