  So if it work in their favour nothing is wrong with that, the Chinese work really hard to improve the lives of their people and their economy.

  The Chinese come as investors. The local govt is the one that finds the land for the factories. Not the other way around. This documentary seems to want to portray the chinese as having oppressed the farmers.

  Come on. If they do the work, you complain they are taking away all the jobs and if they let you do the job, you complain they stand their giving orders. It's a crazy world. No matter what you do, someone will hate you.

  Most of those Chinese supervisors were factory workers themselves not that long ago. They are most probably from rural areas in China and went to the cities to work. They have a lot of courage leaving by themselves to go to Africa and not exactly to live luxurious lives.

  I saw a more extreme point of view in this film. The local people must maintain a primitive and poor life to be the best. Those farmers whose interests have been damaged are indeed poor, but the income of those workers working in factories is not mentioned. , Those women can just stay at home or do some farm work. The railways and roads built in China have enabled many people to do business. These benefits are not mentioned, but completely negative reports, which is very interesting.

  It's seems to me that this is a UK documentary about China and all about the bad things China is doing currently, it's quite subjective to say the least. We blame the Chinese for what Europe and the US have done themselves for decades. Haven't we Europeans exploited African for centuries? And about England, take a mirror and look in it, millions of English people can't pay there bills anymore, they live in harsh conditions. Young English people who cannot afford to buy a house anymore. Same in the US, where a lot of people have to take on 2 or 3 jobs, just to survive...no that's paradise. Please take off your subjective glasses and don't blame China for everything.  Maybe it's a bit difficult for us Europeans and Americans to accept, but  Asia is going to dominate the century to come, whether we like it or not.

  New Silk Road consists of old and new routes. Old Silk road was sabotaged by empires along the route. Soviet era even blocked movements of goods. As a result, landlocked countries suffered. New Silk Road enabled landlocked countries to be landlinked. Also like ancient Silk Road, it's not a one way route. Benefiting countries along the route.
