Cultural historian Sir Christopher Frayling shows how Chinaphobia arose in the West.
In this provocative illustrated talk, he explores the role of popular culture in generating prejudices about China and the Chinese from opium dens of the 19th century to the mass-market press, and shows that we neglect the history of popular culture at our peril if we want to understand our deepest desires and fears.
