We catch up with Dieudonné Twahirwa, a Rwandan agribusiness entrepreneur who in September 2019 signed a five-year deal to supply 50,000 tons of dry chili to the Chinese market. He talks about the trading process, the challenges and developments since the signing of the deal.

In an exclusive interview, Rwanda's Ambassador to China, His Excellency James Kimonyo talks about the China Africa Economic and Trade Expo and how it is an opportunity for Rwanda to engage with business leaders and investors.

We discuss mental health in times of COVID. What impact has COVID-19 had on the mental well-being of people, particularly amongst university students? What interventions can be put in place to prevent another potential health crisis? In this episode, Dr. Jiu-min Lin (China), Dr. Brett Lyndall Singh (South Africa) and Pamela Marahwa, a Zimbabwean medical student, join me to talk about this and walk us through some coping strategies.

We will be looking at common myths and stereotypes about China and Africa. I’ve invited two of my Chinese colleagues Wang Lei and Shen Ting who have also lived in Africa to discuss these misconceptions from both our views. We will try to figure out how some of them arise in the first place, debate the reality about them and weigh how such myths are hinderers towards social engagement with the two peoples.
