Everything gets chai’d that’s a fact
But maybe somethings getchai’d which won’t come back
Brick up your hutong right, make your street look pretty
And meet me tonight, in China’s capital city
In this episode of Barbarians at the Gates, Edward Wong of the New York Times joins David and me to discuss Ed's new book, At the Edge of Empire. We discuss frontiers, what the Qing Dynasty means for China, and the different generational perspectives on China's recent past.
