The ancient silk route linked east and west and was risky for anyone.

We always continue throughout this megaproject with which China wants to cover half of the world. We passed through the Jade Gate where ancient China ended and the Wild West began. If you go further west, he wrote. the poet one way you no longer have good friends but that is precisely what we want to do continue further west already in ancient times china's doors to the world were always the ports nothing has changed in this only the dimension in yang yang we climb aboard Here begins our journey along the maritime silk road this port is a giant a giant among many of the 10 largest ports in the world seven are located in china only in yang yang 25 million containers of goods are moved every year for the world without However, sometimes China exports itself, we experienced this in Cambodia, our first stop is useful, the spa where the Chinese go in full splendor, where now in the meantime they feel at home, however, for those who grew up here, suddenly the world in cyan vdl local people have turned around as if I or visna somehow they no longer feel comfortable among so many strangers it is terrible with so many Chinese here they don't know how to behave our friends already refuse to come here they don't feel like seeing only Chinese around them In one year everything has changed, the Chinese have completely taken over our city.

At least they are working on it and it does not go unnoticed. It is not a superficial reform, it is a complete remodeling. There is not much left of the old Ocean Grill. They are taken care of by workers from China. material from china plans from china how that works political analyst van zhang is one of the few cambodians who dares to publicly mention the root of evil chinese investors bribe the authorities to obtain permits we talk about crime corruption this opens up the possibilities to their investments competition for tenders there is no transparency especially in megaprojects we hardly know what is really happening but we can see where that leads the locals are looking for their place we find ourselves again with a view in the center of the city until recently there was a small restaurant here However, he had to leave the premises.
A Chinese investor is building a hotel. The rents in the center are exploding, but the prices that the Chinese pay are unthinkable. Everywhere I ask, there is bad news. I saw your sign. What is the rental price for the premises? 30 thousand. dollars a month how could I pay it, I could never cover rent like that in addition to water and electricity and I still haven't paid for school for my children here only the Chinese can rent none of us can afford that soon there will only be Chinese restaurants for Chinese customers Cambodians won't we have no chance to be useful it was before a dream place but that has ended especially at night in the streets in the squares things become more and more difficult more drugs more violence more insecurity more and more problems between locals and Chinese this is not It is something that the authorities like to admit but they adapt to it, the police make rounds, they check more frequently than before and at least in front of our camera, there is no difference between Cambodians and Chinese, but that is always the case, it is said that with enough money they can be eliminated. quickly the nuisances crime is increasing those right but we have it under control we react immediately and quickly you can see that the Cambodians and the Chinese distrust each other but it is nothing serious sometimes a fight and some Chinese drive their cars drunk old man will drinks a lot and the game is played a lot, it is prohibited for Cambodians, also for the Chinese, but only in China, almost 80 casinos suddenly appeared, there are millionaire sums in circulation that pass in front of the locals, that has its effect, antipathy towards China is very pronounced and spreads. quickly the reason is clear these new chinese and this is not only in cambodia they have no interest in the local culture this is different from the chinese of previous times until the 18th and 19th centuries they still wanted to learn languages ​​understand other cultures and integrate but be useful is on a different path the city becomes the backdrop its inhabitants become extras in a film whose script and main actors are strange Chinese who take liberties here that are often denied to them at home Chinese who let off steam here In his home in China everything is stricter the pressure is everywhere especially to keep silent but how does this fit with the role of carrying as the nerve center of the silk road for the caravans it was a desired place marcopolo praises kashgar for being so big and beautiful the merchants here wrote they would travel around the world with caravans they moved south through the karakoram mountain range or through the tianshan mountains towards central asia tiger has always been special it still is today it belongs to china but the majority here are Uyghurs a Muslim minority who deeply distrusts Beijing in front of the old town gate there is folklore weaver Chinese tourists like that after the dance we ask a simple question to an old man weaver likes to carry life is good The man begins but does not continue any further.
Suddenly a man stands in front of our camera and prevents us from continuing, intimidated and scared. The old man is going to destroy the city of cosmopolitan commerce. It has become a totally controlled city. Our car is constantly followed by the stasi. and the police suspiciously watch our every step and everyone we want to talk to the Chinese authorities suspect extremism everywhere they close mosques or only allow them as museums part of the old town of silence heart of Wilbur culture will be demolished and that tells me It hurts two years ago we were here then there was also a lot of surveillance but they allowed us to film in the old town today access is prohibited at that time we saw how the Uyghurs took care of and maintained their mud houses and we also met the potter of loading in his house of 400 years layer by layer the knowledge about this very special clay about the shape and firing has been deposited here and he protected it I started this craft when I was 8 years old last 50 years of my life here in this workshop with this work I am the sixth generation who carries it out the potter became bitter when talking about how China in the name of progress wanted to demolish the old houses of the Uyghurs there are rumors that they want to transform the neighborhood as for my house they told me that it should have a modern building I told them that That couldn't be it, I couldn't carry out my job in a modern house.
We don't know what happened to his old house or how it is today. We couldn't visit him and his family. We couldn't see what happened to his grandchildren, who he hoped would one day. If they follow him, we are worried about him everywhere, if from above the old does not appear because it stands in the way of the new, the Chinese, according to estimates by human rights organizations, close to a million culés are detained in what they call camps. re-education those who get too close to these fields must stop and turn around china spreads abroad but at the same time fears the influence of foreigners and others wants free exchange of goods and capital but not of people and ideas to remain silent is a bad omen for China's plans along the Silk Road China looks for what it does not have, for example raw materials for its powerful economy, that greed is difficult to satisfy, sometimes desire and reality become one, sometimes not with 15,000 containers a On board we continue along the maritime silk route to me to the sea one of those destinations that can still serve the desires a country closed for decades wants to be discovered, for example from the air, the history that is revealed to us down there speaks of great cultures of disappeared empires along the irrawaddy river we go from el vagan to mandalay a name that sounds promising but life here can be hard youtube wants to sell this stone for the equivalent of 50 thousand euros raw jade a true treasure no other country in The world has as much jade as Myanmar to the north, they are often extracted in miserable conditions, something that buyers are not interested in.
Here, only its quality counts. Here, it has a black vein and the color is not green enough. No, I don't like that. They negotiate their offers hard. They are always very low if I want 100,000 then they offer at most 20,000 and do not go up more than 30,000 never lose they always win that's how we lose they win they are the Chinese the entire market stops mandalay is in their hands from the raw material to the finished jewelry in china a cult has existed for millennia around this stone of the gods much of it is an intermediary it does not reveal to us who sends it and which party receives a new attempt perhaps today the negotiations are going better but today simply does not seem to be their day Chinese also buy here mainly has asked the real customers are far away in distant China where the emerging middle class needs expensive status symbols the offers come through the smartphone an online commerce that responds to the pronounced local commercial sense we are related to China directly that's good people on the internet don't have much idea about the hardware they don't know if the quality is good so we bring the goods on the plane however the taxes are high and that reduces your profit if we ourselves use chains or rings at the enter then we do not pay taxes and finally it comes off a bracelet however with a strange feeling of course it is sad here we sell the treasures of our country but otherwise it does not work they are very powerful and we are weak we need money and the Chinese have money in china the had is a symbol of luck and somehow we are overwhelmed by the feeling that with its sale luck will change sides in the extreme north in the mountains of kachin the home of jade other raw materials are also highly desired the greed of the powerful neighbor China's hunger for resources has displaced peoples has changed lives, including those of two or the strange magic potion that supposedly prepares aid againstcolds, menstrual cramps and impotence, but not against everything, there is no herb against the greatest concern of pain, this problem cannot be solved by any medicine, there is nothing against it, if we had a medicine for it, believe me, I would prepare it right away and distribute it free of charge every day, but no.
It's so simple, nothing is whistled, Ivan, she needs other means, a solid protest against the dam, their banners say, it's me and many others have rebelled in the Abbot springs and are opposing the powerful China that has big plans, plans that no one wants. here the river and gravel 10 our vital artery here influences our blood this river has to live no one can disturb it and that is why we will fight for it and for ourselves against a monster that grows there behind from the water a colossus of steel and concrete however This dam did not surpass the foundations.
China needs electricity and this dam would provide 90 percent of it. A multimillion-dollar project would have gone beyond the border, but the resistance of the people was so great that the Myanmar regime effectively had to bow, the suspension was imposed. temporary construction a great inconvenience for Beijing the old town of hurt a long time ago it was forcibly relocated everyone had to abandon it if you look here on the right you can't not feel pain and also worry I'm left I know the opponent is resistant and here We lived since time immemorial in peace and tranquility so I chased us away and we still can't go back because no one knows what will happen I'm afraid we'll never be able to go back because the Chinese don't give up they still want their prey and one day all this will be under water Nothing will be the same anymore so China always has the upper hand because China is rich and its partners poor the middle kingdom is now also the kingdom of the media China does politics with money from the ncaa she is sorry although everything seems so carefree in this destiny dreamlike in the Indian Ocean where in a pleasant way time seems to pass more slowly down there Chavinda Pushpa Cumare makes his way through his plantation and throughout his life he grows watermelons as he has always done, only not in the same place anymore now I am in the middle of the jungle here I am supposed to cultivate my fields far away where there is nothing before I had a good portion of land but now there is the port everything has changed for acumar as well as for many others in hanban tuta the expansion of the port of deep water swallowed his fields there was expropriation the resistance was useless and the warm words that were smoked he would not have needed them either and they never told us the truth they took our land and promised that we would get jobs in the port but the Chinese have no work for us The peasants only have jobs for their own people.
Now they control everything here. In fact, for 99 years, the Chinese have all the exploitation rights of the port of Hanban Tuta. In exchange, the bankrupt and the NCAA were issued a loan of 1.1 billion dollars, an agreement. dubious enough to fuel rumors small even a military base is being planned the location on the indian ocean is after all perfect what exactly happens in the port is confusing and invisible we receive a clear message the official viewing point has recently been closed to foreigners perhaps there is not much to see since economically the port is still waiting for its emergence therefore the government ordered that every car you import the anca must enter through hanban tuta even if the recipient is at the other end of the country creation of employment for a port behind all this there is a man ma jin from rajapaksa in his period as president stretch the chinese agreements agreements as monuments this man comes from hanban tuta he had what he liked built now his hometown has highway intersections without traffic roads that the rest of the country only dreams of and where there are more cattle in circulation than vehicles, an events center where nothing happens, a hospital without patients and without doctors, all of this paid for with credits from China in a queue, Tunga has observed it for years and He doesn't understand why he is involved in it.
Let's say the Chinese give us a loan of 100 rupees, then 90 of them flow directly back into their own pockets. It's like the bank gives me a loan and says okay, here's the money. With it you can build your house but you have to buy all the bricks from me and you have to give work to my workers that's how it works and we also pay 12 percent interest and it's not a fair deal. Superlatives can make you feel proud but they don't. everyone here comes the manager of the emptiest big airport in the world cantuta international the credits of china have been invested abundantly here everything is new practically it seems to have not been used and that's the way it is in reality we have never seen an airport like that at most in berlin there is no queue at check-in there is no cause at the luggage carousel there are no crowds anywhere the trip here can be very relaxed if you could travel the airport is oriented to a million passengers a year and can still grow even more but here there are no passengers if we are prepared as a backup airport in case there was bad weather in the capital at the moment we do not have scheduled flights to one so they wait every day since its opening five years ago for an absurd theater whose next act is being outlining how the port is in Chinese hands the airport could soon be since this is how Beijing does politics with Chinese money it does not give us anything its objective is not to help Sri Lanka they have economic interests and political interests the problem is that we cannot do it we need money we need investments and no one else gives it to us apparently big politics has become white like a foreign power and we wonder how people should understand all this the new silk road is making its way everywhere and strongly b

an and china this border crossing seems to belong to the great wall of china it never went that far but for us the border really is It feels like an impenetrable wall through the border fence We compare our watches Ours show Pakistan time Those of China's border guard Central time Three hours apart at 30 centimeters This territory is a high security zone China believes it should be isolated of the Islam of Pakistan, the Chinese officials, for their part, cross into Pakistan, it is not our territory, says the senior customs official, but in reality that is not true, the Chinese characters do not want to be portrayed in the souvenir photos on the Pakistani side, it is as if they were in china they prefer not to be interviewed and where are the goods that are traded on the silk road only in the afternoon the chinese trucks arrive from pakistan on their way back to china we don't bring any goods they don't have anything normally we return with the empty truck on the way to pakistan the ribbon container was full of clothes and electronic devices now it returns empty due to the great risk there are places that are dangerous on the road there are sharp curves where the container practically touches the rocks that is dangerous there are always landslides rocks can be seen in her truck what the Karakoram highway demands of them the trucks continue their journey to China we remain in Pakistan the police escort us to a huge construction site where no television crew has been allowed to film before Western and that takes several kilometers away from the Karakoram, it is a long journey through a dramatic and dangerous world of mountains.
For just over 10 years, China and Pakistan have been building this highway, but in reality it will not be for a few empty trucks on the highway. It looks like a fine silk thread that can tear at any moment and as if the karakorum had to regain its impenetrability, rockfalls always occur and the road must be repaired. At the beginning of January 2010, disaster broke out on Ataba due to a dramatic landslide. of earth buried a village and 20 people the unsa river became a huge lake and the karakorum road I am looking for a new path through the mountains I will find a path or build one Hannibal would have said before crossing the alps with elephants to conquer China also cares about Rome, above all, about the power and strategy that Rome wants to achieve.
The Chinese first dare to cross the Karakoram, who was particularly brave. Even today, the once isolated villages of the Unsa Valley seem to be part of the ancient route of the silk with ancient instruments and songs and with the concern that very little of it will be left when the road is finished, the little trade that we see as well as the towns is more reminiscent of the times of the caravans, the few trucks are decorated in a very colorful way According to Pakistani tradition, the price of this road is very high. Pakistan is extremely indebted to Chinese construction companies and banks.
Even for the Chinese, a cemetery for Chinese workers who died in construction is becoming expensive. It is no coincidence that the tombs remember a military cemetery these workers belonged to the Chinese army it is really a conquest after 600 km we arrive at the construction site where they continue to tear out other kilometers to the karakorum the noise of the drills preparing the next detonation is deafening but here no one wears hearing protectors such maybe because that is their least concern the rock is not stable and constantly threatens to collapse I often can't sleep especially when something unforeseen happens so not only I can't sleep neither do they do it at the construction site nor do our bosses in Beijing here work seven thousand Pakistanis and 1200 Chinese there is Chinese food and state television but what's the point of this if the family is thousands of kilometers away and the internet connection is too slow hello you are not sleeping yet the connection is bad you can't really hear me of course that I have missed my home but we have no other option I will only be able to return home when I finish here the administration of the mega construction project sleeps and works in an old hotel that has been converted into a fortress the government of Pakistan is worried about the safety of the chinese in the morning the bungee engineer explains how to continue with the road he has been working here for more than 10 years his hair has turned gray meanwhile confucius said the man who demolished the mountain was the same one who started taking away small stones and that is exactly what beijing expects from banjul day after day for us it is a race against time we have almost no rest we work from the morning until 11 at night and we have no day off and he wants to show us a special construction site we still wonder why the mountain has to be removed and here it finally becomes clear it is a strip a corridor through pakistan the engineer takes us to a huge bridge 60 meters high the piece we see weighs 140 tons and will someday support the road Little by little, bridge by bridge, China is approaching its great destiny: direct access to the Indian Ocean, just as the Roman Empire based its power on a network of military roads.
China is now building roads for its empire and I don't know what causes more vertigo the view from these imposing bridges or that insane effort the excessive plan to build a road on the roof of the world to the sea one day I will show my son and my daughter what I fight against here I will build this road and then I will be very proud China's gaze is only forward, it wants to go further and further, we follow this great plan, we still have thousands of kilometers and thousands of nautical miles ahead of us to Europe, China is extending towards the West, that raises hopes and stirs up protests everywhere along of the new silk road and on our long road from kyrgyzstan to duisburg
