Exploring China's Global Mining Projects for Critical Materials
China aims to become indispensable in the critical materials sector, expanding projects strategically for dominance and profit. Despite challenges like environmental costs and inaccessibility of mining areas, Chinese companies persist in investing globally. Employees live in company-provided accommodations, forming small Chinese communities in remote mines. The adaptability of individuals in establishing homes in challenging environments, like living in a mining zone, showcases human resilience. This long-term investment by Chinese companies in mining projects abroad is witnessed by employees who have been living in these locations for extended periods. The BBC's documentary explores these aspects with insights from experts, shedding light on the reactions of audiences towards these global mining projects.
