As some 30 heads of state gathered in Beijing on Sunday, is President's Xi's initiative a meaningful bid by China to lead the world economy or just a glorified investment splurge? Presenter Manuela Saragosa gets the views of Linda Yueh. Also in the programme, Rob Young asks whether we should fear technology, while Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times lays into almost every word of a management job advert.
