Driving up to the Ramu mine site, I stopped the car at an incongruous sight: against a backdrop of rain forest, a lone Chinese man perched on a piece of cardboard overseeing a crew of local workers struggling in the sun to sheath a pipeline with insulation tape.

"This is our time." Moments, of course, are fleeting, and he talked about this one in the way geologists talk about eons.
