  • China has a serious housing bubble, it won't reach the top anytime soon.

  • everyone hating on China is either a war mongering Racist zionist, or an idiot that failed to score with a chinese girl so takes it out on the entire nation

  • What the fuck with "soaring population"??

    China's population growth is on par with Western Europe, Japan and Russia...... meaning it's population growth is VERY low....... due to the strict population control measures......

    In fact it's been suggested that sometime within a generation or so China may well have to lure immigrants.....

    Who's the fucking moron that posted "soaring population"??

  • china is the most polluted country on earth.... that is the fact.. .hope they do something before destroying everything..

  • China will be the best country in the world soon, if only they can get over their affinity of walling things out. I don't want a file wall on my internets.

  • lol narrated by brad pitt. why???

  • Stephen Holl is my favorite architect (as an Architect myself). Visions like his design will be part of the solution for sure.

  • 3:21 - 1/4 of Los Angelos' particulate matter is attributed to China? Who's going to believe that when the U.S. is among the worlds biggest manufacturers and users of gas guzzlers. And if that wasn't enough, most U.S. power generating stations are coal burining.

  • @Afrocanuk And let's not forget that the world in essence exports their pollution to China but by contracting all of their manufacturing there. It is western consumption that is driving an unsustainable path.

    For fuck sakes, America the richest country in the world can't even agree on a highspeed rail system and choose to drive around instead in SUVs and pimpmobiles.

  • I love listening to Jiang Yi talk :) a man I would love to engage in conversation sometime. Interesting insigt into a bright future for China. I hope they can pull it off :) If not, it may be Rapanui on a large scale...

  • FANTASTIC VIDEO

  • THANK U HUMANITY

  • lets put this video in other lenguadges

  • anti capitalist propaganda. meh.

  • @reallysecretusername Capitalism is anti-human propaganda.

  • @reallysecretusername Anti-Capitalist? I think there are more important things than pieces of paper that the Central Banks have led you to believe was valuable. True wealth comes from our resources, products, technological development and knowledge. Pieces of paper with numbers on them should not be used to measure that wealth. Afterall, things like Water, Food, and Air... things that keep us alive, our resources, does not suffer from inflation, unlike your beloved fiat currency.

  • Brad Pitt's voice?

  • @efast00 thats what it says in the beginning in very small barley visible letters =]

  • China is not mimicking American. They are mimicking Hong Kong or Japan.

  • @shfbdfi1273 japan mimicking america. hong kong mimicking the UK

  • @dackjack Have you been to either Japan or Hong Kong? Likely fucking not.

  • Can they interview more Chinese than American? I know a lots about America already. This documentary is about China why not interview more Chinese or more foreign people.

  • seemed pretty 50/50 to me.

  • They did interview more Chinese than Americans. Learn how to count before you comment on a subject of mathematics. Not only that but the Americans they did interview, appeared to possibly of been living in America based on his tie and his knowledge on the subject matter. It does not matter what a person looks like but what they are teaching and If they are knowledgeable on what they are teaching. Your saying a Chinese person shouldn't speak about American architecture because he is not American.

  • I don't know if I could design anything with fung shway (don't care if that is misspelled). It would be like saying, "please base this off of fairies. Bad luck? what bs.

  • spelling Feng shui wrong is bad luck.

  • Thanks for letting me know. I will never spell fong shuay wrong again.

  • More bad luck.

  • More bad luck? From what? OOOh, thats right, the fang shay thing, right.

  • @facelessone86 Depending on who you are designing for, one day you might be asked to redo your entire building plan because of Feng Shui just like the guy who design the HSBC bank in Hongkong.

  • @PrometheanRunGood

    Well, that wont be hard since I can just pull it out of my ass, like everyone else that does fing shooi.

  • Thanks for making this movie !

  • America will have to bow to China in the future in terms of the green technology revolution. Thomas Freedman the author of hot flat and crowded agrees that no one country has chosen to take the helm of the next major global industry. China seems to be ahead of the United States once again, when most americans can do nothing but squabble about britney spears and american idol the Chinese are solving problems. China looks like what America used to be. In China they believe anything is possible!!!!

  • Umm, have you ever seen China? They're environmentally terrible! One of the worst! You can't disagree with me.

  • They were , but now it's focused on becoming environmental friendly to make up before and future.

  • @Ch4rl3magn3 I wouldn't get too carred away with a Pro chinese analysis. They are still polluting at an alarming rate and the air/water quality in much of China is far worse than anywhere in the U.S.

    They HAVE to be innovative otherwise everyone in the country is going to die by age 40.

  • wow great movie !!!

  • This is the real truth. Did Al Gore have any real idea what profound implications there could possibly be when he first put his plan together to educate the world to the fact that we were gradually destroying it? Well........?

  • how could education destroy the world?

  • There's an old saying, A little knowledge can be dangerous. That's right. A lot of knowledge can be stupendous. We need a lot, a lot a lotta knowledge and we need it now.

  • what about India?

  • India will pull the world down the toilet.

  • there are cars in India made of aluminum which run on compressed air.

  • @TheGallows32 How many of them are in operation? Just because some guy in India had the idea, it doesn't mean that there's been much progress or implementation.

  • @jcng5 indian is useless.

  • @jcng5 India has alot of people but India isn't industrializing as China is.

  • @jcng5 they still have to cater to their cows

  • @jcng5 me: ok ok, ur nation is also a mess. jcng5: yay!

  • @jcng5 Indian is a joke

  • @jcng5 what india, you mean american indian, or caribbean indian, or south american indian, or the curry indian from THE india

  • @jcng5 What about them? Their population is out of control and they barely have 1/10 the infrastructure to deal with the crisis in population.

    India is a Malthusian crisis in the making.

  • @jcng5 Predicted by Goldman Sachs to be the third largest economy by 2050 with Us at 2 and Chnia at number 1

  • Brilliant analysis and observations made on current sustainability issues with current pace of development in that country (and world-wide), and workable alternative "green" environmental architectural and urban solutions that will benefit every one on the planet.

  • Just one story about the benefits of focused restructuring in action.

    Its my sense that without oversight many cultures can not think passed the anti change lies of the Oil Comanies.

  • Anyone that says that Global Warming and environmental practices are fake needs to watch this video. This was one of the best that I have seen, all based on an industrial country that isn't the best to be dealing with.
