Greed ,so called prosperity and materialism ruined this world
Yeah the Chinese are smart they build in Precast units while we sit and take years to build stuff and I go over it America is broken and if it goes to war with China I care not who governs us maybe the Chinese people could improve this country and yes I am American I've always been American I will not fight for rich people in this country who steal everything yes we live in an oligarchy maybe try to fix that too they don't treat rich people as well as we do but they treat the poor pretty well
Any suggestions to documentaries like this?
Humans are similar to cockrouches to the earth đ
Surely Chinese will regret for their actions one day…
As the USA and Canada fight for climate change CHINA SURPASSES THE FOOLS đ

And for the 5/10 thousand years that aboriginal people walked Australia, probably the most resource rich continent they did nothing whilst Europeans invented probably 90% of things we use today. Now they want a slice of a pie they didn't use or mine

The BBC used to be great TV, now it's just more sensationalist crap.

Two superpowers with two different sets of priorities. One has waged a war to win against poverty, making the lives of her people exponentially better. The other has left her people to the mercy of elements to fund wars all over the world.

The way we live and treat the planet is disturbing. We are the only species who are not capable to live in symbios with the nature
Ok but Guang Ah Fung is literally girl boss
There is nothing wrong about build aquaduct. Its important for place with less water. Do you think what israel did is human or civilised? I say israel did LIED to many country CIVILIAN. And AMERICAN as puppetier with BRITISH as puppet keeper backing up.
AND SO THE HUMAN CANCER CONTINUES. I often feel i don't belong on this earth amongst sub intelligence. đĢ¤
Makes me glad I dont pay my tv license if this is what people are watching on there. I cant believe they are still making this archaic style documentary in 2024.
This is sickening.
BBC just had to find the only female crane operator on that Chinese project to get their DEI pointsđ
big entities and governments has destroyed the planet on the name of betterment of humankind
Digging seven years looking for copper is bad for our planet and seems like a bad business model. The Bingham mine is an environmental disaster. Poor taste here, BBC.
That subway system could never work in America. Weâd be too stubborn and start yelling
Thanks to western mindsets that have been teaching the world that they are the chosen lost and are therefore the most intelligent and able people ever to live. too bad, all things come to an end. if you hadnt noticed all the westerners have done is to make it all as artificial as possible just like things are in their minds.
Corporate greed did not your every day citizens get it right.
WOW!!!!!
After watching this; I am definitely not having kids
Wow, that aqueduct channel in China. We need something like this to drought proof Australia. It has been talked about, for years and our government won't do it. It will benefit, all of Australia.
All this kind of stuff will one day make for that post apocalyptic dystopia we all running towards so eagerly. We are the creators of our own nightmares.
You must be loving Jumbo jets đ
China building for the future, Europe destroying itself for the present
Mining; How much fuel do they use? How much CO2 have they added? And that is just one place.đŽ
We need to use the waste rock to stop the sea from rising
If our Telangana CM Revanth Reddy sees this he will call this as one lakh crore scam.
100 ships per year like this? Who buy them? Its crazy!
Ants be like "for better or worse. this is how we have changed the face of the playground…" đ
With commi china being the wold's capital of junk, we can be assured to see a disaster happen with the aqueduct in the next few years
