Blake Berger

Daniel Russel, a former U.S. diplomat and now Vice President at the Asia Society Policy Institute, and Blake Berger, a consultant focusing on development strategies, dive into the shifting landscape of U.S. and Chinese aid in the Global South. They discuss how reduced U.S. aid impacts vital sectors and compare it with China's proactive approach. The conversation also emphasizes the need for sustainable development over traditional aid, the significance of local governance, and the rising unpopularity of foreign aid in China. A thought-provoking exploration of international development dynamics!
