In collaboration with Bentham Brooks Institute, we’re having a discussion about Covid-19's impacts on the use of surveillance technology. With the rise of the pandemic, every country has started their own technological race by developing new, efficient methods of tracking and tracing its respective citizens.

As one of the world's political and economic giants, China has played a tremendous role in developing African economies.

Gyude Moore and Ms Hangwei Li speak to us about whether the "Debt Trap Diplomacy" phenomenon is an accurate representation of current China-Africa relations and the effectiveness of Chinese investment and aid in the continent.
