The Sino-American Scramble for Africa

Project Syndicate published on 20 March 2020 a commentary titled "The Sino-American Scramble for Africa" by Colin Coleman, Yale University.

The author argues that the American Prosper Africa strategy is incomplete at best. Compared to China's engagement it is under-resourced, limited in scope and narrowly targeted. On its own, it offers little hope that the United States will arrest the decline in its economic position on the continent, relative to China.
