Dissent Magazine published in the spring 2022 edition "China's Global Statecraft: An Interview with Ching Kwan Lee" as interviewed by Eli Friedman, Cornell University.
The focus of the interview is China's loan practices in Africa. The author concludes that the real question is how China's practice of patron clientelism differs from other state's use of this mode of power, what the consequences of China's model are, and what pushbcks it provokes.
