[GLOBAL SOUTH] The U.S.-China Battle For Ideas in the Global South
The China in Africa PodcastPlay episode
Show notes
Both the United States and China have restructured their respective foreign policy establishments in recent years to be better poised to confront each other.
In the just concluded 20th Party Congress in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping clearly telegraphed a more aggressive stance towards his U.S. rivals. The U.S. articulated much the same in its latest National Security Strategy released in October that clearly named China as its "most consequential geopolitical challenge."
Jake Werner, a research fellow in the East Asia program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft in Washington, D.C., joins Eric & Cobus to discuss how this rivalry is playing out in the developing world where a battle for ideas is now underway.
