China in Africa – Great Decisions Group Discussion

September 28, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

We welcome you to the Great Decisions Group Discussion facilitated by Susan Tracy. This group will meet the fourth Tuesday of the month from 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. running through to January. Great Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on world affairs.  The program model involves reading the Great Decisions Briefing Book to discuss the most critical global issues facing America today.

The Covid-19 crisis has put a massive strain on what was growing a positive economic and political relationship between China and the continent of Africa. As Chinese President Xi Jinping’s centerpiece “Belt and Road initiative” continues to expand Chinese power, the response to the spread of Covid-19, as well as the African government’s growing debt to China, has seen pushback. What are some of the growing economic and political issues between China and Africa?

Topics are:

  • Sept 28 – China in Africa
  • Oct 26 – the two Koreas
  • Nov 23 – The Role of the WHO
  • Jan 25 – End of globalization
