BBC Documentary: "The Chinese Are Coming"

This documentory series by the BBC looks at China's commercial expansion into the rest of the world.  Presented by Justin Rowlatt the series first looks at China's increasing involvement in southern Africa and then moves on to South America, North America and the rest of the world. 

The first two episodes, which you can watch below, were first aired on the 8 February 2011.  It is well worth watching to anyone with an interest in Sino-African relations.

  1. The best review: "Justin Rowlatt investigated what Chinese influence meant for African countries, nicely skewering racist presumptions about China as he travelled."
