Two Chinese Students Discuss Nation’s Path To Democracy
Henry Tao and Lee, two Chinese natives studying at Iowa University, outline two central pressures shaping China since the Opium War, criticize Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang governance, and argue that true democracy is the aim though hard to realize in a backward, wartime nation. They warn China cannot be controlled by outside powers, including Russia, and note transition is ongoing with limited information.

Two Chinese Students Spend Christmas in Iowa City
Two graduate students in hydraulic engineering from China are visiting Iowa City for Christmas. James Lee and Henry Tao, both 26, study at the University of Iowa with guest host Harry Bangsberg, and both have traced extensive journeys through the United States since arriving in 1949. Tao from Tientsin and Wuhan background explains their education and early work, while Lee from Fukien and Swatow backgrounds outlines his path from National Amoy to National Central University and Illinois before transferring to Iowa for hydraulics research.
