In recent months, there has been a notable escalation in China’s economic coercion of various countries and private companies, prompting a pressing need for a deeper examination of this phenomenon and China’s global strategy. Our panel will delve into the repercussions of actions taken by China in multilateral institutions and its use of debt-trap diplomacy, examining their effects on international relations and trade dynamics. The discussion will also shed light on how the United States and its like-minded partners can effectively deter China's coercive tactics, paving the way for a more stable and secure global landscape. Ivan Kanapathy, Senior Fellow at the Center for Strategic International Studies, and DJ Nordquist, Former US Executive Director of the World Bank joined us to discuss these issues and more.
