Countering Chinese Communist Party Influence Around the World

Despite the fact that a majority of Americans view China as the United States’ greatest strategic adversary, what to do about the rise of the Chinese Communist Party’s influence across the globe remains a point of significant debate. This Vandenberg Coalition series dives into this question with leading experts in eight different regions, ranging from outer space and the economy to Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, the Indo-Pacific, and South Asia. In each installment, we cover China’s growing influence in the region, how it measures against American influence, how to define our relationship with the region in light of competing priorities, and what America can and should be doing to better protect and advance our national interests.
