Justin Rowlatt travels across three continents to track where Chinese money, workers, and ambition are landing next. In Zambia he visits Chinese-run copper mines and meets the managers and laborers navigating a relationship that swings between partnership and resentment. In the Amazon he follows Chinese demand for soy and timber into land deals that are reshaping the rainforest economy. Elsewhere he watches Chinese engineers building infrastructure that African and South American governments cannot finance themselves, and asks the local officials, workers, and critics what they actually get in return. Rowlatt talks to Chinese migrants who have moved abroad for work and stayed, and to businesspeople back in China who see the rest of the world as simply the next market. The film treats China's expansion less as a single strategy than as millions of individual bets, made by state companies and small traders alike, and lets the people on the receiving end argue about whether it looks more like development or a new kind of dependency.
