China’s influence on the global south is one of the most important issues of our time. Made in Ethiopia offers a rare opportunity to follow three women, a Chinese factory director, a local factory worker, and a nearby farmer, as a massive Chinese industrial park transforms rural Ethiopia. Together, we will consider what “progress” and “development” mean to these three women and explore how China’s growing presence is shaping their communities, families, and livelihoods.
