Synopsis
China is trying to feed 20% of the world's population on 7% of the world's arable land. And a third of the world uses water from China's rivers. Rapid industrialisation and climate change, however, have led to bad air, polluted rivers and drought. And rather than clamping down on polluters, local government often protects local industries.
