While the United States and other advanced democracies are hardening their views of and position against China, Beijing is gaining ground in the developing economies of the Global South. In the Indo-Pacific, a region that will largely determine the future of the global strategic landscape, developing nations are absorbing Chinese norms and preferences and gradually adjusting their thinking and policies accordingly.

Why is China making worrying progress in shaping and influencing the policies and actions of developing economies in the Indo-Pacific? Why is this a significant problem for the US and its allies? And what are some effective approaches to countering China in this context?

Join Hudson’s Patrick Cronin, Tom Duesterberg, Aparna Pande, and John Lee as they discuss Lee’s latest report, Understanding and Countering China’s Global South Strategy in the Indo-Pacific.
