About China: The Human Cost Behind the Rise of a New Power I SLICE HISTORY
As China’s economy surged in the early 21st century, its growing power began reshaping relationships across Asia. From divided Korea and rivalry with Japan to Chinese investment in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the film examines how trade, infrastructure and political influence were extending Beijing’s reach. Travelling through Xinjiang, India, Nepal, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the documentary also explores nationalism, Tibet, democratic freedoms and the tensions surrounding China’s emergence as a regional hegemon. Could economic power restore China’s historic position at the centre of Asia — and would that eventually produce a new empire?
