Chinese investment firm Primavera Capital and Alibaba's Ant Financial have purchased a 460 million US dollar stake in Yum China as Yum prepares to spin off the business next month.

Our reporter Martina Fuchs sat down with Hu, who has become non-executive chairman of Yum China's board, to talk about the company's business plans.
