Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues

What are some of the challenges the United States and China face in addressing pandemics and global migration? In these blog posts, participants in the initiative's faculty research group on global health discuss three main areas: international migrants and refugees and their healthcare services, urban pandemic surveillance and response, and shifting funding for global health and security. The emphasis for this round of discussion is on China's increasing engagement in global development through its Belt and Road Initiative. 

The Trump administration has taken a different approach to climate change issues. Now, some are saying China will replace the United States as global leader in climate change. What are your thoughts on this?

This blog is part of an exit interview conducted by the initiative as the Research Group on Climate Change concludes its first phase. Participants comment on post-Paris Agreement leadership in addressing climate change.
