Asia's Big Hitters

Description

India has begun an unstoppable love affair with the automobile. China's booming construction industry will create a staggering quantity of new homes by the year 2020. Do Western activists overstep their bounds when urging these nations to curb their ecologically risky appetites? And has the West properly acknowledged the strides India and China have made in, respectively, electric car production and solar energy? This program explores those questions as it journeys across both countries, giving viewers a detailed look at on-the-ground realities. Experts include Rahul Bajaj, chairman of the Bajaj group; John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK; and Ren Hong, professor of real estate at Chongqing University.
