While in Zambia on a three-nation tour through Africa, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen accused China of being a barrier to concluding negotiations to resolve Zambia’s significant debt problem. The Chinese Embassy in Zambia responded that the U.S. should solve its own domestic debt issues and not make groundless accusations against others. What is Zambia’s debt crisis? What has been China’s role in helping to alleviate debt pressure? And how can Zambia and other African countries emerge from defaults?
Also in the news, Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday gave a video address at the seventh Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where Xi said that China takes CELAC as its key partner in enhancing solidarity among developing countries and furthering South-South cooperation. How is China’s cooperation with Latin American and Caribbean countries delivering high-quality development? And what role do these countries play in promoting world peace amid today’s geopolitical tensions?
Guests in this edition of Dialogue are He Wenping, senior research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; Hannah Ryder, founder & CEO of Development Reimagined; and Josef Gregory Mahoney, professor of politics at East China Normal University.
