Story of China
The Last Communist Collective in China
Clip: Episode 6 | 2m 37sVideo has Closed Captions
Michael Wood visits the last surviving communist outpost in today's China.
The age of communism is over now in today's free market China, even though the Communist Party still runs the country as a one party state. Now there's just one place which is still communist in a sea of capitalism. Michael visits this strange throwback in rural Henan, where they still sing, "The East is Red" before work, and where pictures of Mao, Stalin, and Lenin still adorn the town square!
