President William Ruto will this week seek to unlock the five-year freeze of Chinese loans at a summit of African nations in Beijing as China tweaks conditions for its lending to the continent.

Dr Ruto on Sunday embarked on a near week-long visit to the world’s second largest economy, where he is expected to hold bilateral talks with his host, President Xi Jinping, ahead of the three-day Forum on China–Africa Cooperation (Focac) ending Friday.
