DR Congo's Tshisekedi heads to China on five-day state visit

Description

Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi is expected in China this Wednesday for a five-day state visit, which will include a meeting with President Xi Jinping. China is the DR Congo's top trading partner and a major mining investor. Top of the agenda will be the renegotiation of a "resources-for-infrastructure" deal struck in 2008, which Tshisekedi believes is unfair. Also on the show: Australia looks to increase its trade ties with India in order to reduce reliance on China.
