Sinica Podcast | This episode features an in-depth discussion with Eric Olander, host of China-Global South Podcast, about China’s engagement and relations with countries across the developing world. Host Kaiser Kuo and Olander analyze China’s recent diplomatic efforts in regions like Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, and discuss the broader strategic objectives and evolving worldview behind these moves. A key focus is the challenges faced by the US in formulating policies and visions that can effectively counter China’s growing influence in the Global South. Olander highlights how developing nations are increasingly disillusioned with the US-led international order, and view China’s initiatives as forward-looking alternatives that better address their needs without imposing external conditions. The conversation covers issues like criticism from Mexico over trade imbalances, and the potential for Brazil to join the Belt and Road Initiative.
