Tomáš Etzler: Journalist in China 2 – Don’t Lose Your Mind!

Tomáš Etzler served as Czech Television’s correspondent in China for many years and also worked in Hong Kong. He is now bringing out Nezešílet! (Don’t Lose Your Mind!), the follow-up to his famous “Asian book” Co jsem to proboha udělal? (What on Earth Have I Done?), mapping the respected journalist and reporter’s intense experiences during more than a decade in China. How did the one-child policy affect China’s development? What is the status of women there? What was the most famous Chinese dissident and Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo like? Should we be concerned by Chinese expansionism? ​Get insights into the lives of ordinary Chinese people and into the life of a journalist reporting from a totalitarian state. The discussion with Tomáš Etzler will be moderated by Jáchym Topol.
