China has agreed to delay repayments of debts to cash-strapped African nations like Senegal, struggling in the face of coronavirus.
Meanwhile, Senegal's government - which is more than $1bn in debt to Beijing - has given Chinese companies deep-sea fishing licences.
The move has drawn criticism from local fishermen and environmentalists who say the waters are already overfished.
