43:20 her language sounds nothing like mandarin i learned
Sensational trashy content gets MILLIONS of views on YouTube. Clickbait thumbnails and titles are enough to get viral. But classy contents like this gets less views because YouTube algorithm won't recommend this to people. For example, "China bashing" is a TREND now and more people are watching those contents more China bashing contents would be made because they know YouTube algorithm would help it's way to audience. See "Popularism" is promoted everywhere in the west!!

They got middle class income, now they want a cleaner environment, multi-millionaire-ships and $5000 wedding tiaras.
Thanks so much to the entire team,its charming and Artist ethnographer and each individual who shared their perspectives, views and experiences of life in China and their dreams!

There are fewer cattle and sheep. No feces. It affects the growth of grassland. It's wrong.
In ancient times, this place has always been a place for sheep. But today. Desertification is serious. So the state let the herdsmen move. Reduce grazing. It's just to reduce the amount of grass that cattle and sheep eat. There is more grass. Only in this way can the soil and water loss not be so serious.
Obviously, China's deserts are all in the north, and the north is full of nomadic people (Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang). So you're thinking. Why didn't the South create desert?
Generally ok but tourism has become better because of the dam? You must be joking
Never knew Yamaha made life vest?
Great video show and the lady journalist is doing her best in bringing the environment awareness to the people of China .
at least u had food on table and jobs. Look at others country without jobs cannot afford food ob table and no peace nor harmony
I have to say, this is the most objective documentary I have seen about China, especially the way the journalists communicate, to really understand something, not like other western media, where every question is like a trap, it wants the answer they want
Salute to the team for such a great documentary


oppressive socialist dictatorships are the most sustainable systems, so long as you got people dumb enough to fall for it. it helps if you sell it as a "democratic"
好节目,主要是拍摄手法优秀
Extract them algae and turn it into bio-fuel.
Interessante.
I am 85 and this lady is the best journalist I have ever seen and heard in my lifetime
China pollute more than the rest of the world combined. The would is decreasing climate pollution while China is increasing and making it worse, China is destroying the hard work the rest of the world is doing.
sustainable development in china gread info
Over grazing causes desertification and not less cow dung. U$25 billion in the Three Gorges dam and U$4.2 billion annual power generation is a nice 16.8% return. There is no evidence that the project was many time budget overrun.
China PRC is the beautiful dream , All predator nations are the nightmare!
WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE OF TIME???!!!
I hope that DNA from the BAJI has been saved, so it can be re-created. I plan to go to China, buy the new P5 electric car, and travel around. CHINA, if you save these animals, it will be like the Panda. People will come, from all over the World, to see them. I look so much forward to see China, and make new friends..




I found TVB(HK) follows this Docu. to make similar Docu.: The road to get rid of poverty.
China need to show the world why he became so powerful, not by weapons but by tears and struggles of every poor Chinese.
This was a little bit of a fluff piece given recent history. For example, in this last episode there was no mention of how CCP corruption enables pollution. That said, the journalist did a great job talking to and listening to regular people. And following in the tracks of Peter Hessler was an awesome format for someone who has read his excellent books.
43:50 “Household DOOD waste” is that a typo?
Most of China is so polluted (air, land and water), they have no choice but to clean them up.
It's interesting but very uncritical of the government. I noticed the part on Tibet, where it was framed as China paying the man, helping Tibet. That's something many would dispute for example. Little mention or no mention of corruption in government and so on.
This four part documentary showed what a massive failure communist party is. Its clear that the party/ government comes first. A nation with government first and people second(maybe not even second, they seem to be resources and once depleted just an afterthought) idk what this documentary's aim was but to me it looked like people are not entitled to any individuality and their self is for whatever new gimmick the party comes up with. The common idea that resonated during the 4 piece documetary was 'what can be done? It is what it is. The government told us to do it' the people have no sense of freedom but have to blindly and sadly do what is asked of them without any right to question, think or believe.
Man over nature? Are you for real? The Chinese government lives in quick results hence the short lived periods of a certain city being number 1 and then dying away.
