The Hill published on 21 August 2022 a commentary titled "Can the US and China Cooperate on African Health Priorities?" by Georgia Nichols, Department of Education African languages fellow, and Mark C. Storella, Boston University and former US ambassador to Zambia.
In spite of the tension in US-China relations, the authors argue that the US should leave the door open to China for cooperation on African health issues, especially the African Union's effort to develop an African Medicines Agency.
