Development as a Tool of Economic Statecraft: A Net Assessment of U.S. and Chinese Approaches

By Alexandra Evans, Eric Robinson, Raymond Kuo

In this report, the authors conduct a net assessment of U.S. and Chinese development assistance and cooperation. The authors describe each country's differing approaches to economic engagement with developing countries and conduct a data-driven comparison to identify strategic asymmetries that might present opportunities for the United States to better compete with China for relationships and influence in the developing world.
