President Xi has asked China to “prepare for Dangerous Storms”, and so the country is working towards greater technological independence, amidst an ongoing semiconductor war with the U.S. China is also working towards greater energy self-sufficiency, ramping up its nuclear energy, and green energy infrastructure projects. In food supply, it is pushing out new technologies such as sea rice, to improve its self-sufficiency. Central bankers are also doubling down on efforts to internationalize the RMB currency, and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar. What does the quest for self-sufficiency in so many sectors of the economy mean for the country? Prominent thinkers and political scientists share their opinions.

Does your favourite chocolate have a bitter taste? Maybe it will after this horrifying uncovering of brutal trafficking and illegal child labour in the chocolate industry
The programme sets out to investigate persistent rumours of child trafficking and illegal child labour in the chocolate industry. In Mali shocking hidden footage reveals illegal trafficking of small children to the cocoa fields in neighbouring Ivory Cost. Kids as young as seven years of age work in the plantations, where they face a dangerous job cutting down the cocoa and carrying heavy loads.
The Dark Side of Chocolate conflicts with the pictures painted by large international companies like Nestle, Berry Callebaut and Mars who signed the Cocoa Protocol in 2001 promising to work for a total eradication of child labour in the cocoa sector by 2008. Now, two years later, this film documents that child labour and trafficked children still is a heavy burden to the cocoa industry.
