Tomorrow's World from Peking

on BBC One London

Raymond Baxter visits the capital of the world's largest but least-known nation, the People's Republic of China, as British businessmen display their latest technology to the Chinese at the biggest western Trade Fair ever staged in Peking.
Raymond Baxter reports on China's own progress in technology and medicine: on how herbal remedies are used to treat babies for viral pneumonia in hospital, and adults for nervous headaches by a village 'barefoot doctor'; on how scrap metal is re-cycled down on the commune to produce new harrow-blades and plough-shares; on China's answer to the Land Rover - Raymond road-tests the 'Peking,' a tough cross-country vehicle; on how the local vet cures a lame cow, not with drugs but with a fine steel probe and a small electric current.
