- A ride into the city passes billboards and newly built businesses with Chinese signage, further evidence of Beijing's growing influence and competition with the US.
- However, the country's growth has come at the expense of a higher debt burden.
- "It's critically important to address it right away," Ms. Yellen told reporters at Zambia's National Public Health Institute on Monday morning.
