Episode synopsis
Driving Dreams is about China's new love affair with the car – how it promises freedom to travel and a better life – and how the world's automakers see it as a market as large as the rest of the worlds' combined. Driving Dreams is also about the environment and what's at stake as cars – to some degree everywhere but especially in China, pollute the skies. Part Two: Cars are racing into China – creating jobs, making millionaires, changing lives – and fueling ambitions of world economic dominance. This episode takes us shopping for a car in Beijing with the Rens, a young couple who can't wait to own one.
