Hidden China takes an in-depth look into this country's meteoric rise to economic superpower in this behind the scenes show. Through access to exclusive interviews and on-camera visits to areas forbidden to journalists, discover how China has rapidly changed from a state run disaster to the world's powerful economy. China is attempting to do in one generation, what other countries have needed three to accomplish. From one of the world's largest gaming industries, to global corporations, China is now most certainly on the world's stage. In the 1970's, thanks to Supreme Leader Deng Xiaoping's pragmatism, China moved from a classic Soviet style command economy to a consumer economy virtually from scratch. This meant China needed to commercially reconnect with the rest of the world breaking away from centuries of tradition. Learn how the inner battle between tradition and modernization continues to rage on as the world's most powerful economy continues to grow. With economic growth at over ten percent a year, tradition is giving way.

Even though this has been obvious for many years, there is no short-term remedy. Southeast Asia and Korea are looking to Japan, hoping for aid and advice from their role model. But even a massive program by the government in Tokyo to stimulate the economy might prove ineffective, and Japan itself might become the biggest problem of the whole Asian crisis and this a burden on the global economy.

Inabe is in between. By night he walks; by day he waits. He lives with his girlfriend in a small, cluttered apartment where care and affection are not overt but easily detected. Fired for theft, Inabe is not in a hurry to find a new job. Harboring a desire to be a poet, he feels inspired when he meets a published poet and decides to enter a poetry contest. He has no money, so when a friend tells him about a hospital that is paying a lot of money to inject human subjects with experimental medicine, Inabe responds with interest. He takes the 'job,' buys himself new clothes and flowers for Amano, and happily asserts to a friend that he is now the breadwinner. Filled with pride, Inabe asks Amano what she would do if she had a lot of money. She says she wants to see Taiwan, while he says he wants to eat delicious food. When Inabe hears from a friend that the man who told him of the experimental injection has died, his life and relationship take a sudden turn.
