Karl Marx is bursting back into the spotlight – this time, on screens. CGTN's new documentary 'Is Marx Still Relevant Today?' tackles the trillion-view question: Did his 19th-century predictions about China's trajectory hit the mark? 🎯
The film stitches together archival footage and fresh interviews with scholars, tracing how Marxist theory intertwines with China's tech-driven cities and booming economy. One scene juxtaposes Marx's 'Das Kapital' manuscripts with Shanghai's laser-lit skyline – a visual mic drop moment. 🌆📚
'We're not talking about dusty textbooks here,' says Beijing-based sociologist Dr. Li Wei in the doc. 'Marx's analysis of productive forces feels oddly relatable when you're scrolling through TikTok videos of AI-powered factories.' 🤖💡
While exploring China's poverty alleviation programs and green energy push, the documentary asks viewers to connect philosophical dots: How does 21st-century Chinese socialism riff on Marx's original concepts? The answer might surprise meme-loving Gen-Zers as much as policy wonks. 🧠✨
