China Lobbies for Bigger Internet Role

BBC World Service - World Business Report, China Lobbies for Bigger Internet Role

China held its first ever World Internet Conference but what does it hope to achieve?

China has held its first ever World Internet Conference. We hear what the country famous for its 'Great Firewall' might want to achieve. Also, as oil giant Shell wins a case against the Indian government over tax, what kind of a precedent does it set for other multinationals operating there? Plus, Lucy Burton in Zambia, investigates the devastating effects that the HIV virus continues to have on the southern African country. And, we talk to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation about how people can be encouraged to eat more healthily and what role international business should play. Also, why Namibia's house prices are soaring - and the British space team hoping to raise hundreds of millions through crowdfunding for a mission to the moon.
