China Inside Out, a documentary reported by ABC News’ Bob Woodruff, explores the stunning global transformation that is taking place at the outset of what is already being called “The Chinese Century.” While much of American foreign policy has been focused on the Global War on Terror, China has been shaking hands and making deals all around the world. In this hour-long documentary, Woodruff examines four of those relationships to discover how China’s rise is impacting all of us.

As the world gathers in Beijing for the Summer Olympics, China is brimming with massive new wealth and exploding expectations. In just 30 years, more than 600 million people have been lifted out of poverty. But China has more than 1.3 billion people – and doesn’t have nearly enough resources to sustain them. Its leaders know that their survival depends on meeting the growing needs and desires of a changing and expectant people. So, after three hundred years of relative isolation, China is reaching out to – and into – the rest of the world.

China Inside Out offers a unique and absorbing view of the world as the new China sees it. From China itself, and across three continents including our own, the documentary explores how China is using its growing wealth, power and influence, and reveals both the opportunities and the challenges of this extraordinary reordering of the world.
