China in 5  

China is not one story. It is 707 cities, each solving a different problem.

China in 5 maps how those cities work.

Every episode looks at one city and one principle;  the structural decision, constraint, or strategy that shaped its trajectory. From mountain preservation zones to desert energy corridors, from industrial anchors to cultural gatekeepers, these cities reveal how development actually happens on the ground.

This is not a travel channel.
And it’s not a news channel.

It’s a structural map.

We study cities to understand how advantage is built, how constraints become assets, and how local decisions plug into the broader national agenda.

707 cities. One structural map.
