On China : People Power

Infobase, (film distributor.). CNN (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: China, a single-party state run from the very top, yet bubbling up from beneath, grassroots activism is pushing for much needed change. In recent years, NGOs and activist groups have sprung up around the country. From protesting against factory pollution, to striking for better salaries, to even delivering free meals to village children. And with the explosion of social media, these groups are more connected and better resourced than ever before. But how much power can the people really have in the People's Republic of China? And will the growing civil society transform the country's political landscape? In this episode of ON CHINA, CNN's Kristie LuStout explores People Power in China.
