Two Men in China

John Doyle and Tim Flannery's journey through China starts in Beijing. They follow the trail of Australian iron ore, and ask: Should we be more than China's quarry?

Second stop for John Doyle and Tim Flannery is the glitzy, glamorous city of Shanghai. Along the way Tim and John meet a bunch of Aussies who are all contributing to the city's development.

Having left old China, Tim Flannery and John Doyle head west to the mega city of Chengdu, the booming capital of Sichuan, where the race is on to create a mighty middle class.
