The Crane: Episode #4 - China Deepens Africa Trade Ties While US Plays Geopolitics
Manage episode 338310129 series 3373705
The Biden administration just launched the new U.S. Strategy Toward Sub-Saharan Africa, which is heavily focused on geopolitical competition with Russia & China and less on engagement with African aspirations and interests.
In contrast, China has just announced that it is removing almost all trade tariffs on exports from 16 of the world’s least developed countries, many of which are African.
We discuss Africa-China trade politics in the light of this new US policy as well as what the US says and how some African leaders are responding to it.
