The article examines the impact of Chinese mining on Papua New Guinea. The country, home to the Ramu Nickel mine, represents China's largest investment in the South Pacific, but villagers express concern over what is happening to their land and how they will benefit from China's presence. The article discusses the environmental impact of Chinese mining operations, how villages are being financially compensated for their resources and the social conditions that exist in Papua New Guinea.
