What the world owes China

World Business Report

Rahul Tandon speaks to one of the authors of a new report that looks at how much is China lending to the world and asks if it is putting countries into debt traps. We get the latest as one of world's biggest internet companies, the Chinese firm, Alibaba, says it's splitting up into six separate businesses. And we hear from France as protests against pension reforms enter a 10th day.
