Typical BBC Bias
I found the first 2 episodes to be worth watching, as it presents the beautiful scenary of China. However, by the 3rd episode titled Tibet, one can immmediately sense the politicising and liberal views held by those from the BBC come to the fore. This episode speaks very well about Tibetan Buddhism, showing viewers what good that theology has brought to the whole world. What ignorant trash! You only have to see the 'slavery' with which the people of Tibet are tied to, and what promise is there of their belief?
The BBC is well known for being ignorant of Christianity and thus speaks harshly of that theology, and yet here it promotes Tibetan Buddhism! I think the BBC is being influenced by some Hollywood stars.
There is also a concern with science, in particular the millions of years that have been mentioned. I mean, I'm a scientist, but how did they know that these things were so? Here again, the BBC falls under the spells of evolutionists.
Beaware of this film, in particular the episode entitled Tibet! -

Good scenary, not enough wild life
My wife thinks that it is a little disjointed and it was difficult to esatablish which region they were talking about. I think that China is a very big country and it is probably diffcult to do it justice in a couple of discs. As a broad sweep, Wild China is a fair attempt to give and illustration of aspects of the country and wild life. It is a bit dry, maybe that has something to do with restrictions on what they could show..
Maybe, I am just too use to BBC David Attenborough productions, but the wild life in China is not that exiting and there doesn't seem to be too much of it. Maybe that has something to do with previous episodes in recent history when the people had no food and had to eat anything to survive. The documentary tried to stress how many national parks have been formed but it seemed that it was constantly talking about species on the brink of extinction. It was a bit disappointing on the wildlife front.
The scenary shots are excellent though. Worth a look if you want to check out a bit about China. I think that I would try to look for something which focused on specific aspects rather than mixing nature, people and scenic shots together. -
