into a big picture. the treasure map for the modern globe trotters discover some of you to record breaking site on google maps to and now also in book form ah, this is the drink the grease, the wheels in china, the town of mammal time is home to the world's most valuable liquor brand because you're corrupt officials prefer it because they only drink the most expensive brand and their love of it, and i was the price to go up for now. so he is

an investigative journalist, your who has fallen calling case. it's an exposed, corrupt officials. his work led to him spending a year behind bars. now he's come to mount ty, home to china's most popular liquor. brand wants to go to that region. dollar. this is going to and enterprise has come, china's most valuable company. the ma, it's overtaken. the country's biggest bank in valley. well, well i think there's a story here to investigate. 10001 guys, georgia park. here's what i'm interested in. what this company suffers from all the hills. the chinese government suffers from when your rocker see eyes and all sorts

of inefficient oversight. show the doing what the story is. no tie. liquor goes back to china's civil war into 1900 thirty's. when chiang kai shek nationalist troops were pursuing the communists, the red army embarked on a one year long escape known as the long march. in southern china they came across the town as male, ty, home to some fine distilleries. it was a thrilling experience as some soldiers later wrote home in their memoirs when we opened the sellers, the fragrance would fill the nostrils the owner was a well known reactionary. of course, we confiscates to the liquor. those soldiers who could hold the liquor drank all they could those

who couldn't get to part the soak half feet in it. ah, it's a story of expropriation in excess. although the drinks official history is rather different. shoot yard is a research assistant at the central committee's party history institute to assume law and paid for everything. they didn't install anything from the citizen last place. they were excited about trying to listen to that they had to climb. so they didn't drink, and honestly not everybody likes to drink as much as those soldiers did. one american journalist famously refer to it as liquid razor blades in showing us spirits like melted are called by jill or white alcohol. the american entrepreneur derek sand house has lived in china for

a long time. he's written 2 books on chinese drinking culture. now, ty is what's called a south aroma bought style by joe. that tends to be very savory. it's got like all the sesame, not kind of like chocolate coffee and also like more kind of out there, players like mushroom or even like fermented bean pays fight show has been enjoyed for centuries. is a cheap, effective drink. when the communist came to power, their priorities were clear. the the very 1st business license, the issue was to bite your factory. the red star distillery and bridging they took a drink that had been up to that point very much like a peasant workers farmers drink. and they elevated it to a position of prestige because they were looking to make drinks that were celebrated by the normal working people and make those more popular than what the

lease were drinking. so they began setting up by jo distilleries all over the country. it didn't take long for the communists to remember the small family owned distilleries in the town of mount tai. oh jewel. they want to create a big state and enterprise that would provide them with that. so they expropriated the owners to about one of them, didn't agree to hand over the factory, was, so they executed all that, but it will be i miss leo who has published several articles about tie he search through archives and talk to witnesses for him. it's not just history. military represents the vices of modern china. does he go to

the liquor, the chinese bureaucrats, like for my they don't drink any other liquor. she edge, i don't have foreigners has to buy this like a jewel. they feel it's expensive. they have to buy it and it has to be this liquor i don't live otherwise. they won't be able to establish a relationship with officials from the bad that the power of the chinese government is to be unique. i keep the officials happy, otherwise you'll have bad fortune. in showing a system of state controlled capitalism. bribes are often the only way to get things done. ah, with the count of mount ty, his long become one with the brand that it hosts tens of thousands of inhabitants have been moved elsewhere to make room for the distillery. as far as you can see in all the mount tai group, kind of family rooms

a privately car factory within sight of the state of distillery. since china allowed private businesses in the 1900 eighty's, thousands of small distilleries have set up shop in town. the liquor is made from sort of in wheat, fermented in pits in the earth. unlike western distilled liquors, this one is for meant to dry smell the liquors frank joe ha. for the distillation process, the grainy mass is piled into a giant steamer. then water is boiled in the steam passes through the mash, releasing the alcohol from the fermented grain. it's a technique that is unique to chinese spirit production. the liquor is then aged in earthenware jar tub all over 2

times. i can store it with us when later, when that kids get married. well, there's an anniversary. we bought it for them and send it over like g, like a lot of women on project. how many this surfaces, their business model at the famous state own to still re only top officials can get the treatment me by the lake 950. the drink had become so important to the communist, but nothing would stand in its way. not even catastrophe. at the time now to tongue, so called creek leaped forward, led to an economic disaster. the experiment and collectivist ation produced one of the biggest famines in human history. tens of millions of people starved to death. yet the government is fine. grain quote is to make sure the mouth tiny factory

wouldn't run out of stock, while farmers were starving in the field. the factory continued producing liquor for the party, li i . it was jill in line. china is 1st premier who made mount tied to drink of state banquets. absolutely, he knew well, and he was an experience drinker. his ability to hold his liquor was well known. he'd been fond of it since the long barge. now he served to foreign visitors. famously to richard nixon on his 1st visit to trying to tie became china's official diplomatic drink that made it even more prestigious for chinese consumers. a today to now tie companies worth almost 350000000000 euros journalist,

yo who suspects that. the brand that fuels china's corruption may itself not be on the level. he's travelling to a nearby town. michigan by margins. amount time company has registered an appalachian of origin or the only spirits produced in the town of mild time because now tie them of the home he produced elsewhere but here 50 kilometers for malakai. he discovers that the company is building huge production facilities to meet steadily rising demand. the firm has launched various products, costing between if he doesn't to several 100 euros dio, who finds out that some of it is being produced here. and not in mount. i itself it is called the sites are often operating

the newer one cares when they do is if the supervisory agencies don't exist the for you who the story of mount high is one of corruption. but for many customers, the brands proximity to power makes it even more desirable. a few years ago, when president teach in pings started his anti corruption campaign. prices of mal tight dropped, but today they're on the rise again. a bottle of premium brand sells for more than $200.00 euros. and even the cheaper varieties do, well, the vendor says this one has just risen by more than 10 euros. it was $120.00. no,

it's at 30. she says the heads of danielson door and are many people who collect smiles, who see it has an investment. they buy the bottles not to drink to store the thing, tell them, don't you found it to them. it's not so much liquor anymore. as a financial product, which is milton is the spirit of the powerful in china. he'll who intends to keep it in his sights. ah, ah, ah, ah, the

the do you like it? do you want the okay, then local us put the pedal to the metal and let's ride the red next d w. oh, nothing like a great the see to come the soul. ah, it is an island as comparable as germany's longest speech, some 1900 hours of sunshine a year. the charm of a bygone era on the medical baltic sea island of don't use check in in 60 minutes on d w. so you want to know what makes agenda you

love banning thing away, but i'm not going to have my own car everyone with later holes in every day. getting you ready to meet the german can join me, rachel, do it on the w. two's the news. we are living during the most extraordinary time in history transport. hopefully electric read the auto and mobility shows me what's didn't like to drive an electric bus through the streets

of a city like berlin. i got to do is to tie for is all on the contract is comalla. so here it was for 5 years. so what can you expect from the new d s 9? today's car. 8th, 21. we check out the design and performance of this hybrid plug in and why does everything always have to go that far? we need an austrian artist who's built the lowest sports cars in the world. ah, so get ready for speed, conscious edition of red lane, and jan's. welcome to the raft. check today's car. a lot of the french one. the d s

9. let's check it out. in the days d. s. was the premium line 50 but in 2015 it became an own ground, determined to build premium quality. until now they only had 2 s t v in that portfolio. the thing i really like about the car, the headlights not only do they look cool, but they also have the moving parts on the inside. they can therefore adapt the lights. so if you're driving into cars, that is of course and march to the 1st day that had that cornering light making the 15th. so that was a real novelty back then. as you might expect to glance, the new d s 9 doesn't have very much in common with the old on deer. but here you will find another reminiscence to the old b s. and that is positioning lied right here. the d s head, the indicators up there, but today you're not allowed to put them that high anymore. and that's why those

are just positioning lights. but still a nice detail. me . another thing i really like about the d. s. 9 is the integrated door handle. it's right here. i know only a few years ago you would find such door handle is only on very expensive costs. and now you will have that right here. you press the button, they pop out and then you can get in. so the interior is really high quality. you can tell that there is a lot of leather good. the color is not exactly my type of choice, but you can also choose other ones. apart from that, you have very nice teachings here and everything looks high quality and somewhat, you know, what could you and that's what the s wants to have like cars that represent or could your, you can also tell that if you use the stop stop button, that by the way is here in the middle then,

and then the log clock will pop up and also and hands that feeling of what could you get when you sit in that car? under the hood of our test car, you will find gasoline engine with 180 horse power combined with an electric engine and 110 horse power. so it's a hybrid, namely plug in high res, so you can charge it by a socket. me, it can go up to 48 kilometers of range purely electric according to w l t p. i talking about charging that will take one hour and 45 minutes. no matter if you'd charge it at home or at a charging station at your work place or somewhere else and then car will be full again. so. busy in theory, you can use it to go to your workplace fully electric,

and then back and charge it at home. prices for a hybrid d. s. 9 started around $52800.00 heroes in germany. the car is also available as a pure gasoline version with 225 horsepower, starting from 47550 year rest. let's talk about the general driving impression vs claims that the glass is bigger than it usually is with other cars. so you will have really well insulated interior and what better place to check that. then the german, audubon, and i have to say we're driving like a 130 right now, and it's quite silent in here. so i guess they were right about the glass. i really like it for me is 93 at length. the d. s. 9 office, a lot of space, the driver and passenger and other nice, the chair,

the car head is that you can preserve battery capacity. can do that by other touch screen right here. so you can choose either like 10 kilometers or 20 kilometers, or the full maximum range of around 48 kilometers. that way if you end up in a big city way, you know you're only allowed to drive purely electric without emissions. you can preserve the range and then switch into e v mode. once you get there. the d s 9 comes with a lot of standard equipment, such as a navigation system, active scan, suspension and active, and the headlights, my final verdict, the s is trying to build cars that are high quality, and i have to say the d. s. 9 does fulfill that promise. it is a card that has no major weaknesses. the design is really striking. the only thing i would prefer if that chrome here was also available in high, polished black, just like that grill here in the inside. also nothing to complain about. the only

thing i didn't like about our test car is the rad ledler. but of course, that is also available in different colors. so on all you have call that feature, lot of things and has a decent price. from me that's a thumbs up from the questionable choice of colors both inside and out, the ts 9 is folded limousine with that extra touch of high quality. with that, you almost feel like those scrolling on the cat walk in this is yeah, not quite a lot of them on the mom. what might be better sort of time i and elect or do you have money yet more?

i'm not. i've had some issues with one of the funds at yahoo. com. i was i respect your voice for now and it was only about, i'm not happy with my final the minimum bed. well, i go back on my domains as we might have talked about their, their stores because i managed to do the school called the full tough shop . i just know by looking upon the

condom he's annoying, electronically was about to the was on the line to to also wall as the inverse of the final will come to start with an option for v vi did this. so it's design thing for the past, like the supreme court observations. i love food fun, but new dish. good gang of the and on down the turn in and out of this year to tom, bob touch flashes on on me down. but, and i'm one of the fish they plan on compare my bathroom. and what else do i want to get finished on

the fun fun to also nutrition, this little pond. why didn't it so it's not truly, it should be counseling hall had been on the high school in the last few months. many young con can clock in the residence time to get on the phone because that's fine. as far as the phone and the people from the money in

some mighty guy would they are not on off the machine. and when it's the news, this is shouldn't been cancelled out by the black one, i believe was cited 200. most of the missing items who's come out and i have to see now along with the cleanser up terabyte of provocative god can demand me. where do i find all the advantages and i had to finish deals of monopoly of auto month warned in oni form

of money. i don't know why it took down my ghana off to come on. then the senior light in the shower, 5160 to some of us, but the solution gotten linear 5 will not sufficient from complex me as amanda one punch. often. i'm poa a lot is tim ones on the next billing was on lot of dust in a pod. all the fast took off one from when i was in depth types or even upside football shop, visa us. and i had fun,

josh on the complex of me a lot of fun. good ones. now had another good. talked with him displaying upside down. all going loyce that was on yet someone meant because me ah, she's, she's on both sides. the nice frightened love to shopping on his com said on the move list of fun and clean. thank you. get this in mind. this is hi nick. this gets this fall by

using alice noise because one for under amazon. but again, i do. i'm going to want to do diag just to tie for all kinds of interest years. so fun to get this from spun as we are good. i just kind talk on some of the comments i, you know, i just patsy and my son had been out of the casa, in fact, or monday, or seen them from the times that much michael got one job, one fat assisted me. the the name been golden and

other than gold coating? the one big exterior feature with ferdinand lee k 3 its supersize the rear spoiler hicks boy off. ah. it's say i'm lucky. i'm gone. i'm so simple and everyone can use that use. looks like it so that he is not the for the medical a gold coated course, a cruising through the city of lin sin, austria alongside of red ferrari. that looks very much like the 700 horsepower flagship enzo model. but when it comes to the jump, the lights, there are a pair of non starters. in fact, they're an art project celebrating the ours slowness and their, the brain child of harness long data. his $200.00 kilo contraptions are driven

solely on pebble power. all of this loss slowness is definitely a bigger luxury then being fashion or thing. life in the fast lane can be a short one with the number on it. and of course, there's also the issue of relaxation. if you're doing 2 or $300.00 on the highway, i think the mat inevitably exist on my feet of 3 to 5 kilometers an hour. you actually notice the things going on around you all come up. the thing that you don't have on bus him on the name of long game versus well bet. follow a duel that pitts artist against the last to turn in a race where the snail takes the checkered flag. the 2 men have been a source of mutual inspiration for decades. their artistic projects repeatedly

focused on the subject of mobility and it being a crossroads between tradition and innovation. the left flesh off the artist introduced as lightning to restore glamour, to specific things to delay given so in reinventing the big fat sports cars as bicycles, lots of organ, the artist restores things to the former glory they might have lost and through no fault of their own lemme seen today. we close from the one half. the car has lost a bit of its old charm in the wake of ecological issues will always be doing the harness long data. his name to his creation 5 are the marriage of ferrari and the german word for bicycle thought. nicholas to save carbon neutral and guaranteed here early mission. rob i sent that after this is our new york for the next 200

kilometers domain. the human driver is the only engine with a lifetime guarantee, and wherever they show up, the mach cars are guaranteed to turn provokes debate. this is bad and, and named after the founder of the course, a company, street legal and pedestrian zones, to see sure. it's basically a bicycle even if it runs on 4 wheels. yes, because it's a one off it say, i'm a luxury and i'm golf. but i'm so simple and everyone can use a counter statement to the decadence of super rich people. them buying the real thing in times like this was an issue because the, when we, if we don't exercise ecological common sense and modesty,

then we're going to cause a lot of damage done marking this, you have to come from the, for the philosopher the font heidi is a reference to the 1900 sixty's, the heyday for cars as design or items and cult objects. left into it in the 1st 3 decades after the 2nd world war. and the introduction of the welfare state in europe gave people the promise of a brighter future will things or if not for them, and then for their children, it's competent last month. as people look to the future, they were more fearless and willing to take on risks. that will change completely because i think people have lost that confidence in the future. that's why they've become fearful and anxious. so if anything, they prefer to see us taking a step back rather than racing ahead moment for c. and the last nominates fearless and home. it lists at the handlebars of cars that would normally be

considered. status symbols, anti pitany of a luxurious lifestyle. as it relates to this, chris left his own statistic. the artist achievement here is creating works is that also reminds us that we can derive pleasure from this kind of thing that they've done. the thing that has been, hey, i'm an artist, and now i also want to have something grandiose, something valuable, significant and beautiful, and impartial. so he makes his own portia and even manages to integrate himself into this reality that he protecting georgia is already worth more than the genuine one that he's replicated. here we have the up as the age departure in the market bought out. on this long gated vehicle said grace galleries and museums all around europe. and to turn his works into true performance, art is some stresses out his booth rental character from the movie. the cannibal runs

the just about the object itself, but also its reception in the media and the public image. another important element is the association. it's obviously from an employee, so adding a personal performance is just as crucial as the promotion and online presence of this is going on them. it is as important as the car or the south of the internet off to it. so you can also be sticking it is all server named in gordon and other than the gold coatings. the one big exterior feature with ferdinand g t 3 is the super sized rare boiler. hicks boil off the hex paula add speeds, excess of 5 kilometers an hour. the spoiler exerts a considerable down for us on the rear axle leaving the a lot of stability at higher speeds to huge air intakes in the front. euler prevent

excessive sweating on the part of the driver and front passenger. the artist has also made videos parity and contests, as well as the classic promotional lives. the in the process earning millions of views on youtube. his works have become so popular that in 2013 his father body was invited to share the age with real luxury cars at the high profile, international motor sho, in frankfort. bad for a vehicle whose chassis comprises cardboard cutouts and the body of plastic tubing and cables. connected with packing tape, the result is one, perhaps the ultimate praise is something that i haven't seen yet, but could be not so far for a few ciocca. he looks like if that if he's not there for right, he's

a very good call. the field trip coming up with ferrari, it's about a philosophy, not just going fast. no one for our is our works of arch. also, i guess i'm going to come on driving a ferrari and unbridled joy to see our capacity for enjoyment. should not be a latest and caters solely to gore maze and those who indulge inexpensive hobbies and it's important for people to repeatedly ask themselves what it is that makes life worth living august. if people stop pursuing that question and are content with merely functioning, then that means becoming extremely comply. and politically speaking, we just accept everything else because all we want to do is obey void ah, what's wrong with

a bit of poor man's portion of philosophy that is a common theme in the work of hardness long data and speaking of philosophy, there's also the constructivist element to art as well. in this case, putting the sacred cow there is the car on to, to wheels to be this is my c o v. the oldest kind of mood. so it's been, if you could call at the su via bicycles for this cause off clausen, it's inflatable and gets fatter over time. so you take up more space on the road. your that's important to tom and the people all town booked on installs for canada's movies to his latest creation is a vehicle that has 0 mobility of statements on the state of the world. doing the pandemic plan as long data self is certainly getting

out and about and after his gold porsha cons to commotion on the cold british tv. so top here is even looking at a small scale market launch yard without any into getting into this. i've even had people from the art scene mistakenly thinking, i'm some car free play goals or is the grandmother of you wonder who you are now? well, i guess i'm no longer an artist. and now more of a car designer auto auto bought the car, talk to you whether artists or automotive architects. hi, miss long good. i will keep on commenting on mobility from his own maverick perspective. while teaming up with like minded to create unconventional visions of the vehicles of the future of the 8, perhaps society will change, then people will be able to rediscover their level for life aspect of

a more positive futures. if it's a few, then i'm sure they'll also rediscover their love of cars taken. and so the old regular cars run out of energy at some point. how does long davis creations will still keep on running red, which is the plenty of energy to keep running until the next episode safe driving. the news, the news

the the the, the the the the thing like a break to see to come the so ah, it is an island as copernicus and as germany's longest speech, some 1900 hours of sunshine a year. the charm of a bygone era on the medical baltic sea island of louisa. don't use check in in 30 minutes on d. w in good say it's time to play
