Overview
China's global expansion drive is clearly visible in Suriname. From deep in the impenetrable Surinamese jungle to the Brownsberg nature reserve, Ruben meets Chinese shopkeepers, Chinese gold seekers and Chinese gold traders everywhere. Ninety percent of all supermarkets in the capital Paramaribo are owned by Chinese and Suriname has a sky-high debt due to Chinese loans and investments. The Chinese are also very active in the exploitation of Suriname's natural resources, such as gold and wood. With fatal consequences for the indigenous population and nature.
