China grapples with housing crisis as world watches on

Properties lie empty, and many homeowners have lost their life savings after the country's biggest housing developer, Evergrande, collapsed.

Sky's Asia correspondent Nicole Johnston travelled to China's 'rust belt' in the north-east of the country to witness the scale of the crisis.
