There's a series of BBC World Service Radio documentaries on China's rising military might on the beeb's world service website. You can download them as MP3's and listen to them between CPod lessons :)

Hi Christian, There's a daily podcast (or sometime 2 podcasts a day) made with this GlobalNews (3 to 4 reports per Podcast for a total of 15 min). You will have a report on China everyday this week. Here is the page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/globalnews/ Here is the URL of the Podcast: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/worldservice/globalnews/rss.xml

Thanks, KMK! :) Apparently the beeb is taking advantage of the Communist Party Congress to run a series of specials on China. Good stuff.

Christian, somewhere along the line I've had the impression that you speak Danish so you may want to have a look at http://www.dr.dk/ as well. They've done a lot on China this year and I'm sure it's located somewhere on their website. If I had the time I would provide more specific links but I'm up over my head working on my thesis right now...

That's pretty interesting stuff... especially the bit about protecting the oil interests and wanting to buy stuff in from the EU.
