Synopsis
In this second season, Ruben Terlou visits five new countries where China's influence has become increasingly tangible in recent years. He exposes China's geopolitics through impressive personal stories.
Episode 5 : Mongolia
March. 17,2024
In a series of meetings with both Chinese and Mongolians, Ruben paints a worrying picture of a country that is said to be democratic. Unfortunately, China's long arm easily reaches across the border. The enormous Mongolia, which has only 3.5 million inhabitants, is wedged between communist giants Russia and China. Major international musical productions must show the world that they are different: independent and democratic. But in the meantime, under pressure from China, there is no place for anti-Chinese voices and refugees from China, fleeing oppression in neighboring Inner Mongolia, are not safe in Mongolia.
Episode 4 : Australia
March. 10,2024
Australia is one of the few Western countries that exports more to China than it imports. Political ally of the West, but economically linked to China. How free is rich Australia really? Ruben meets veterans and asks them that question. He travels along the west coast, where the lobster industry has been hit hard by the trade restrictions that have been in place since corona. And he speaks to elderly Chinese who reflect on the complicated relationship between the two countries.
Episode 3 : Suriname
March. 03,2024
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.
Episode 2 : Laos
February. 25,2024
In poor Laos, China has moved entire villages to build rails for a flashy speed train to the capital Vientiane. Laos is also building countless dams on the Mekong and its tributaries with Chinese money, with the aim of becoming the 'battery' of Southeast Asia and thus lifting itself out of poverty. Ruben visits a small fishing community that takes action on the banks of the Mekong in Thailand. Their way of life has now become almost impossible. In Laos, Ruben boards the new train. In a village that was moved for the train, there is still one old couple living in their old house.
Episode 1 : Solomon Islands
February. 18,2024
Ruben Terlou visits the Solomon Islands, the unknown island state that symbolizes the increasing rivalry between China and the West. China provided a new stadium, many loans and medical aid in exchange for cutting ties with Taiwan. A security treaty allows China to send police officers, resulting in a violent uprising among the local population. Ruben meets tradesmen in Chinatown whose shops were set on fire. And on Malaita, where most of the rioters come from, he meets the man blamed for the riots. Why don't the Solomon Islanders want China?

Film star Joel McCrea voiced the radio version as the fictitious Texas Ranger Jayce Pearson, who uses the latest scientific techniques to identify criminals. His faithful horse, Charcoal, helps Pearson to track down the culprits. The radio shows, some of which are available on the Internet, are reenactments of actual Texas Ranger cases.
The television version was produced and also directed for several episodes by Stacy Keach, Sr. It was sponsored for part of its run by Wheaties cereal. Captain Manuel T. "Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas, who was said to have killed thirty-one men during his 30-year career as a Texas Ranger, was the consultant for the television series, filmed by Screen Gems.
On radio, Joel McCrea's Pearson often worked by request with a local sheriff's office or police department, but in the television version, Willard Parker assumed the role of Jace Pearson and had a regular partner, Ranger Clay Morgan, who had been an occasional character on the radio show. Morgan was portrayed in the television version by Harry Lauter. William Boyett appeared five times on the television series, including the role of Wade Crowell in the 1955 premiere episode, "Ransom Flight."
