This five-part news series examines Asian Investment in British Columbia, described as the new "Gold Mountain" in reference to a term used by the Chinese to describe the new world during gold rush days. Host Colleen Leung and George Brown look at expanding Asian investment and the concerns it is raising. The program includes interviews of Vancouver Mayor Gordon Campbell, the Minister of International Business and Immigration, the Honorable John Jansen, city planners, developers, architects, real estate agents, Asian investors, merchants, lawyers, politicians, school trustees and people in the street. Footage of a citizens' meeting, a radio station talk show, anti-racist demonstrations, business conferences, investment sites, and Asian families living in Vancouver examine the "mixed blessing" of B.C.'s proximity to the Far East. Archival footage from the provincial archives shows Vancouver in an earlier era. <45mn>
