As the Trump administration reevaluates the United States’ approach to foreign assistance and global health programs, the People’s Republic of China is sending a message throughout the Global South: America cannot be trusted. As the PRC seeks to supplant the US as the world’s preeminent power, America’s commitment to continue leading in global health—specifically in the fight against malaria—is more critical than ever.

Experts and policymakers will join Hudson’s Michael Sobolik to discuss how leadership in the fight against malaria matters to US-China competition.
