The revolutionary potential of rock and roll has long been a worn-out cliché in the West, where the Rolling Stones do commercials and rappers hang with royalty. But in contemporary China, rock (or yaogun) really is changing the country – and the culture. Musician and promoter Jon Campbell, a ten-year veteran of the Beijing scene, tells how rock has risen in concert with the world’s newest superpower.
Chaired by Mikey Cahill.
