Beautifying China

Got a burning question on China? ChinaFocus has got you covered with #FindingAnswersinChina. In episode five, we take a look at how China is battling the greatest existential crisis of our time: Climate Change.

Achieving it will require a complete overhaul of how ordinary Chinese people live. So how does it plan to achieve it?
