YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

China has pledged $9 billion toward investment in Latin America and the Caribbean, and Colombia signs onto the Belt and Road Initiative. These are just two major developments from last week’s China-CELAC Forum held in Beijing. Zoe Alexandra, journalist and editor of People’s Dispatch, joins Amanda Yee to discuss the significance of this summit, the mainstream media claim that China is encroaching on “America’s backyard,” and what the chaos brought on by Trump’s trade war of the last month and half means for the future of U.S. and China relations with LAC countries.

Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, we will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.
