On February 23rd, the U.S.-China Strategic Studies Organization and the Onero Institute invited David Shinn, Adjunct Professor at The George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs and former Ambassador to Ethiopia and Burkina Faso, to discuss U.S.-China competition and cooperation in Africa. The event was moderated by Tsung-Han Tsai, a Discussion Contributor at the USCSSO and a second-year student at the Elliott School from Taichung City, Taiwan.
As relations between the US and China continue to evolve, the African continent has become an important space for competition and cooperation between the two powers. American and Chinese foreign policy in the region, as well as the unique approaches taken by individual African states which interact with both foreign players, have brought increased attention to the region in recent years. In this event, we spoke with Ambassador David Shinn about his experience with American and Chinese policy in the region and recent developments in US-China relations in Africa.
US-China Youth Expositions is an event series hosted by the Onero Institute China Program and the US-China Strategic Studies Organization that seeks to promote youth involvement in international affairs and research about US-China relations.
