Made in China

Studio 360

China’s global spotlight didn’t start with the Olympics; its openness to cultural expression has been making waves worldwide. Hear about China’s strategy for remaking its public image in time for the Games. Meet a musician who sings of the woes of 100 million migrant workers who have left rural homes for China’s booming cities. And Kurt Andersen talks with Taiwanese filmmaker Ang Lee, who negotiates the divide between Shanghai and Hollywood.
