In the morning discussion last week we got to the issue of water and natural resource issues across China.  The readings and news articles highlighted the serious concern about water, disease and keeping access open to millions for water and sewage service.  It is crazy to look at this issue of water access compared to the access to trade and to business expansion.  This week I caught this program on BBC's "Our World" show on "The New Silk Road".  The railway being built across Asia to Europe to offer direct access to goods, foods and "clean" European products.  Absolutely amazing what they are doing.  The past becomes present.  Here is the link, they also get into some of the cultural issues in the central and western parts of China.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhb8tfu7m1c
