Podcast on Africa and the Belt and Road Initiative

The Belt and Road Podcast ran on 25 October 2018 a program titled "Hannah Ryder: Africa Needs Belt and Road. On Its Own Terms." Hannah Ryder is a former Kenyan and British diplomat who is now running a company in Beijing.

Ryder pointed out that 37 African countries have now signed Belt and Road Initiative memoranda of understanding with China. She argues that what is needed in the China-Africa relationship is more African agency.
