About this episode
The episode discusses China's efforts to combat desertification and the implications of these initiatives.

While officials hail it as a triumph, how durable is this green transformation? Genevieve Woo sits down with correspondent Tan Si Hui to discuss the scale of China’s long-running anti-desertification drive, the people on the front lines and the trade-offs involved.
