The Beeb is launching a week of programmes about China starting on Monday. It seems a little modest to give just a week to what it looking as becoming the dominant power of the century. However the timing isn't bad, as I've noticed increased awareness and discussion of China of late here in Britain, not least that more or less everything seems to be produced in China these days. The stars of the East, always influential but long rather insular, are now in ascendence.
I've an particular interest in China, in that it's likely to comprise a considerable chunk of my round-the-world trip that's currently in its early planning stages. I'll certainly be following the China-based programming the week ahead, not only to gather an idea of what to expect of my trip, but in examining what we may come to pass in the Chinese century.
