China has frequently used informal economic coercion (IEC) to influence foreign governments to adhere to its foreign policy objectives. Given China’s focus on spreading its influence in the Global South, Africa faces extensive pressure from IEC. Notably, since the creation of China’s new Hunan model, Africa’s food sectors face the greatest threat of Chinese coercion. Maria (Mary) Papageorgiou and Jonathan Sebborn argue that the United States needs to expand its diplomatic and economic presence in Africa by promoting sustainable development projects under an alternative model that counters China’s.

As China seeks to bolster its presence in the Middle East, it has increasingly engaged in conflict resolution efforts, mediating Hamas-Israeli negotiations and diffusing Iran-Israeli tensions. Rather than continuing to ignore or belittle the impact of China’s diplomatic influence in the Global South, this article, by Maria (Mary) Papageorgiou and Mohammad Eslami (IR), urges Western states to focus on multi-aligned re-engagement to counter growing Chinese influence in the Middle East.
