In this in-depth four-part documentary Ted Koppel examines China's new status as an economic superpower and its complex relationship with the United States. He focuses on Chongqing–a city in Sichuan Province with a burgeoning population and big plans for the future. While peasants in outlying areas eke out a meager living the rising middle class revels in new riches challenging traditional ideas about religion sexuality and consumerism. All this reverberates here in America where companies scramble for cheap labor workers find jobs shipped overseas and shoppers snap up Chinese-made goods at big box retailers.
