Video Description

China is under threat. Its ancient deserts, which appeared long ago in the north and center of the land, continue to grow. New deserts are forming. Arid and semi-arid zones now cover half of the country. They are taking over arable and inhabited land, which, near to the deserts, is shrinking rapidly. Natural barriers of vegetation found at the edges of the deserts are not sufficient in number or strong enough to hold back the sand, which takes flight and then falls on Beijing. Each spring, the Chinese capital and region around it are drowned for days on end in sand storms. 270 million people are suffocating. China is at war against deserts, which threatens to swallow the land. An army of 32,000 rainmakers fights every day on the desert front. A Green Wall is being built, which is as long as the Great Wall of China, to hold off the enemy.
