Show Notes

In our second programme looking at the future of the world's ports, we head to the South American country at the centre of a global tug-of-war between China and the US.

One key infrastructure project, in the small Peruvian fishing town of Chancay, is caught in the middle.

We speak to businesses and locals about what's happening.

Produced by Natalie Jiminez Presented by Ritika Gupta
