Duisburg's inland port became a household name in China after Xi Jinping visited in 2014, and freight trains from China have been arriving there in growing numbers ever since. This film follows the Belt and Road Initiative's European footholds: Duisburg's container terminals, Liège's cargo airport and new Alibaba logistics hub, and the Italian seaport of Genoa. Interviews with logistics operators, officials, and analysts lay out how railway lines, airports, and shipping routes across these cities have become tied into networks run or controlled by Chinese state interests, and what that means for European dependence on Beijing. The film tracks the project's momentum against real disruptions, China's zero-COVID lockdowns snarling supply chains and Russia's invasion of Ukraine complicating both trade routes and Beijing's diplomatic partnerships. Supporters describe economic growth flowing through these ports; critics describe leverage accumulating on the other end of the line. Filmed on location at all three sites, the documentary leaves the balance between opportunity and dependence as an open question rather than a verdict.
