Addressing Pandemics and Global Migration

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.

About the Blog

Ties between China and the United States are at a critical juncture. The United States remains the world’s leading power, while China’s wealth and influence continue to expand. The relationship between both countries will have a decisive impact on the evolution of global governance and prospects for world peace. Despite inevitable national differences between the two countries, there remains considerable room for the cultivation of shared approaches to questions including climate change, global health, business and trade, peace and security, and economic and social development around the globe.

This blog provides a forum for scholars, students, policymakers, and the wider public to address critical issues in U.S.-China relations.
