Episode 153, "Surveiller et punir en Chine", par Jean-Philippe Béja

The laogai, the Chinese concentration camp system, was established by Mao Zedong in the 1940s and saw 50 million Chinese people pass through its gates, nearly half of whom perished. This system of surveillance and repression outlived its founder, persisting even during China's opening up and evolving with modern surveillance technologies. Jean-Philippe Béja recounts this history and, through it, the story of 80 years of Chinese Communist Party rule. Hosted by Ausha. Visit ausha.co/fr/politique-de-confidentialite for more information.
