The lecture attracted twenty students from across the residential colleges and was well received by them.

Dr. Lai first talked about the origin and development of socialism in Europe after the industrial revolution from an ideological perspective, and then how capitalist countries used colonialism to transfer the contradictions between rich and poor within European industrialized countries to the international society, resulting in China’s facing the dilemma of internal and external pressures. China finally relied on the experience of the development of socialism in Europe, localized it and applied it to China’s development.  Lastly, Dr. Lai further explained the phased tasks of socialism in the “new era”.
