Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is Roundtable.
To some, Xizang is considered sacred, remote, untouched by modernity, like a postcard frozen in time.
But 75 years ago, peaceful liberation set in motion a transformation that shattered that very image.
So in today's show, we are peeling back the labels and demystifying the region for what it really is.
And then China has dozens of hot pot styles and the industry around them is massive.
Now the city of Chongqing brings new moves to standardize the flame.
We'll dig into the delicious broth quite literally today with Niu Honglin and Steve Hadley on the table.
Coming to you from our studios in Beijing, this is Roundtable and I'm your host today, Fei Fei.
And first on today's show.
For many outside of China, Xizang is remote, isolated, and untouched by modern life, a place quite frozen in time.
But here is the reality check.
Since the region welcomed its peaceful liberation 75 years ago, those labels no longer fit.
So what does modern life in Xizang actually look like when you stop looking from a distance
and start looking through the eyes of the local people?
We'll talk about it.
So welcome Steve and Honglin onto the show.
It's a big topic, but quite interesting.
Hold on.
Don't just skip over.
