At the begining it starts of with a cool "Kid Stays in the Picture" kind of montage of pics that is going to give you a brief history of China. It starts off with building of the Great Wall, then *bad edit* we suddenly jump to the 70s and ping pong diplomacy. Well, maybe nothing really happened that was notable during that period of history anyway. Also, there are some segements that are in Chinese with no English subtitles, nothing too bad but you do miss out on some portions if you don't understand Mandarin.</p>
