Show Notes

In this episode i'll be talking with Eric Olander, co-founder of the fantastic China in Africa Project.

Caribbean policy makers often believe they have recreate the wheel when it comes to China policy. They don't realize that China has been actively engaged with Africa. And the experience of those African countries can be very instructive for the Caribbean. The two regions have many similarities from being former colonies, relatively undeveloped, and of course being majority black.

But the Caribbean is relatively unaware of African generally and even less so of Sino-African relations. In this episode I want to open the dialogue between the Caribbean and Africa as it relates to what we can learn about China policy. In the age of Zoom and Whatsapp there is no excuse for a policy maker in Kingston to be unaware of what China is doing in Kigali.
