As it celebrates the 70th anniversary of its founding by Mao this year, Communist China aims to dethrone the United States as the world's leading power by 2049. New silk roads, technology transfers, influence strategies : Beijing is patiently weaving its web. And Xi Jinping's China is offering the rest of the world its model of society : development without human rights, prosperity without democracy, becoming rich without becoming free. From the farmlands of the Allier to the megalopolis of Chongqing, from the textile factories of Ethiopia to the "safe city" of Belgrade, this film tells the story behind the scenes of this world under Chinese influence which is emerging before our eyes, and which questions our own democratic models.
