Business Matters: China Invests in African Railway 13 May 14

Tue, 13 May 14

The Chinese are investing in Africa's railways, with a vision to create a network connecting seven East-African countries. It is a much-needed infrastructure1 development, but not everyone is convinced by China's involvement. Plus, the European Union consider new economic sanctions against Russia, ahead of next week's presidential election in Ukraine. Also, we look at how new media is being used in India's general election. Finally, the food substitute Soylent has started shipping2 - we look at whether it could be the food of the future, or just another fad3. All this with guests David Kuo from The Motley Fool in Singapore, and Daniel Strachman from HedgeAnswers.com in the US.
