Two Men in China

From the hi-tech and high speed bullet trains rapidly connecting the nation to the inter city express and metro subways, the train is a modern day symbol of Chinese power, wealth and might, and the ability to just get things done.

Tim and John meet the usual eclectic group of characters as they burrow beneath the surface of China and the Chinese while asking what does communism in China mean today. Our intrepid hosts will grapple with the traditional workers, the otherwise inscrutable government workers and the new movers and shakers.

Tim and John will investigate how Australia's mineral and agricultural wealth is helping to drive the Chinese economy, feeding its people and accelerating the urbanisation of the most populous nation. But it's time to ask: shouldn't we be more than just China's quarry? What is the future for our two nations?
