The first episode focuses on Africa where Chinese more and more exploit natural resources. Locals regard China’s impact with very mixed feelings.
In a second episode, Justin Rowlatt travels to Brazil and the United States to further examine the spread of Chinese influence around the planet. Again, local people worry about growing competition with China.
