A nation must think before it acts.
African views on U.S.-China competition in Africa
About the Event
With China's Belt and Road Initiative expanding around the world, the African continent has become one of the newest arenas for U.S.-China competition. But what exactly do the African people want from the U.S. and from China in terms of economics and trade, international relations, and even media and culture? Join FPRI and the African Center for the Study of the United States to discuss U.S.-China competition from the African perspective.
