description Unlike many of the studies of the geopolitical consequences of British radio, this project centres on the BBC’s Home Services as opposed to its External Services, focusing on the talks given by travellers to the People’s Republic of China. This project covers a period of significant changes in the geopolitical landscape of the Cold War, along with great changes in the relationship between Britain and China.
