Every country should have the ability to tell its story to the world. However, a nation's narrative should be based on facts and rise and fall on its own merits. China employs a variety of deceptive and coercive methods as it attempts to influence the global information environment.

Taiwan has an important election coming up and we hear that relations with China is one of the main things on the minds of many voters. And though China is much bigger and more powerful than Taiwan, the island does wield influence in China when it comes to pop culture.
This is information that I have hardly paid attention to, until today…I had a fascinating interview at Turning Point with an investigative journalist who has so much information about China's influence on the constant war against the Jewish state of Israel.
In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: The New York Times has released a jarring report revealing that Israeli officials knew about Hamas's intentions to orchestrate a massive attack inside Israel's borders more than a year ago, but repeatedly dismissed the plans as something far outside Hamas's capabilities. Meta recently revealed they have broken up a number of Chinese influence operations targeting Americans on their social media sites, and warned that these campaigns are stepping up efforts to sow discord within the U.S. ahead of the 2024 elections.

This episode Darren is thrilled to be joined (for the second time) by Stephen Dziedzic of the ABC, perhaps the finest foreign affairs reporter in Australia and a dear friend of the podcast. While the episode commences with the premise of ‘stories that are bubbling beneath the surface', over time a clear theme emerges – the domestic politics of security pacts. The conversation begins with a new agreement between Papua New Guinea and the United States that seems to be delaying Canberra's efforts to conclude its own pact with Port Morseby. Next up is Vanuatu, where Australia was (surprisingly) able to procure the signing of a new security agreement when a new government took office last year, but which is now facing strong ratification headwinds. Meanwhile in Australia, grassroots discontent within the ruling Labor Party regarding AUKUS threatened to overflow at the party's annual conference this past week. The majority of the podcast was recorded on 11 August, with a quick postscript recorded on 20 August. Australia in the World is written, hosted and produced by Darren Lim, with research and editing by Walter Colnaghi and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

Navin is joined by Dr. Megan Reiss, former national security policy advisor at the office of Senator Mitt Romney, and currently the founder and CEO of SolidIntel Inc. They discuss China's growing power over U.S. technology, the RESTRICT Act, and how A.I. can assist in de-risking from China.
In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, we are joined by Dr. Pete Connolly to discuss China's activities in the Pacific Islands, specifically Melanesia. Dr. Connolly explains that through his field research, he observed a shift in Chinese engagement in Melanesia between 2017 and 2022, indicating the strategic importance that China attaches to region. He unpacks major Chinese political and economic efforts in Melanesia and argues that they have had a strong impact on the region. Moving forward, Dr. Connolly predicts growing PRC activity and influence in Melanesia. Pete Connolly is an expert in security, strategy, and international relations with 36 years of experience in the Australian Defence Force and a PhD in international, political, and strategic studies. His dissertation analyzed change in China's statecraft in the Pacific Islands from 2017 and local responses to it. His analysis connects extensive on-the-ground research in Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Fiji with China's strategic interests. As a military officer he led multidisciplinary teams in planning, analysis, engagement, and research in Defence, the Pentagon, and coalition operations.
Congress has set its eyes on China as the Chinese Communist Party continues to extend its influence throughout Latin America. Congressman August Pfluger (R-TX-11) and Congressman Wiley Nickel (D-NC-13) join to discuss their recent trip to the region and share their thoughts on the immigration crisis, and fentanyl trafficking. Later, they talk about China's investments in places like Brazil and Chile, and what the United States must do to protect democracy in South America.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has concluded her four day visit in China on Sunday. However, press releases do not indicate any substantive outcomes from this visit with both sides refusing to waver from their terms. China looks to take on the role of mediator in the Russia-Ukraine War to cement its role on the international stage. Finally, China and the Solomon Islands have announced a comprehensive strategic partnership. What implications could this have?

Since Joe Biden entered the White House, he has worked hard to bring about a diplomatic reset with Iran. It now appears that a new nuclear deal, apparently even worse than the notorious JCPOA, is in the works. Among Southeast Asian nations, China's influence is growing deeper and more powerful, and it's happening at the expense of American power in the region. Canada is all in on LGTBQ, and there is no legal way for individuals to push back on religious grounds. To conclude, we look at the United States Constitution, which came into effect on this day in history in 1788, and why it brought opportunity and stability to so many lives.

In April 2022, the Solomon Islands became the first of the Pacific Islands to sign a security pact with the People's Republic of China (PRC), setting off alarm bells in Washington. However, China's influence in the Pacific Islands has been steadily growing for years. In 2019, China succeeded in persuading the Solomon Islands to switch diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to the PRC.Not everyone in the Solomon Islands welcomed these decisions. Daniel Suidani, the former Premier of the Solomon Islands' most populous province, Malaita, has put himself in China's crosshairs by standing firm for democratic principles in the face of Chinese influence and questioning the government's decision to switch recognition to the PRC. For those views, the government recently ousted him from his elected seat in the Malaita provincial assembly.Hear from Suidani himself as he sits down with Heritage's Jeff Smith to discuss China's growing and alarming influence in the region.

Since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1947, Africa has been crucial to China's foreign policy. First, China supported several African liberation movements during the Cold War. Second, in November 2003, the Forum for China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) was created to improve cooperation between China and African states and third, Xi Jinping announced China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in 2013, which aimed to reinvigorate the old silk trading route along the East African coast. Furthermore, a relatively unknown fact is that China has made significant investments in Africa's digital space. In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro is joined by Alicia García-Herrero and Iginio Gagliardone to talk about China's image and digital influence in Africa. They discuss specific examples of successful and unsuccessful media narratives built by China and assess the role that Europe plays in relation to China and Africa's digital influence.

U.S. President Joe Biden wrapped up his visit to Ottawa with a strong pitch for creating even closer ties between Canada and the United States. ‘The West Block' host Mercedes Stephenson speaks to David Cohen, U.S. Ambassador to Canada, to find out what that future looks like in real terms. As allegations of Chinese election interference continue to dominate headlines, many in the Chinese Canadian community say this has been a problem they have warned about for years. ‘The West Block' host Mercedes Stephenson speaks with Cheuk Kwan, co-chair of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China, and Joanna Chiu, reporter for The Toronto Star and author of ‘China Unbound' about just how pervasive China's meddling is in Canada.

In this episode of Pekingology, Freeman Chair Jude Blanchette is joined by Margaret Pearson, Distinguished Professor and Distinguished Scholar-Teacher in the Department of Government and Politics at the University of Maryland, College Park to discuss her recent research on Chinese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Africa. Her recent works include “Does Chinese FDI in Africa Inspire Support for a China Model of Development” and “Foreign Direct Investment, Unmet Expectations and the Prospects of Political Leaders: Evidence from Chinese Investment in Africa.”
The Biden administration pledged $55 billion for food security, climate crisis and trade partnerships, in addition to a new agreement with the African Continental Free Trade Area that will give US companies access to 1.3 billion people and a market valued at $3.4 trillion. The summit is the first of its kind since 2014 under then-president Barack Obama. Meanwhile, China has been holding the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation every three years since 2000, widely seen as an essential means of advancing Chinese diplomatic and commercial interests. For nearly two decades, Beijing has ploughed funds into African infrastructure and supplied the continent with affordable consumer goods, ranging from mobile phones and solar panels to plastics. Until now, Sub-Saharan Africa has always been a low foreign-relations priority for the US, accounting for just 1.2 percent of its total two-way trade. However, western leaders have sharply criticised what they see as Beijing's reluctance to address the heavy debt burden facing many African countries. Beijing's ambassador to Washington rejected the idea ahead of the summit, citing a report that African countries owe three times more debt to Western institutions while noting that Chinese-built hospitals, highways, airports and stadiums are “everywhere” in Africa. Can Washington close the gap? As the US-China rivalry sucks the global economy and international relations into its orbit, the gap between Washington and Beijing's footprint on the African continent is stark. China-Africa trade accounts for $254 billion – four times that of US-Africa, which stands at $64.3 billion. China is also the largest provider of foreign direct investment – double the level of US FDI – and supports hundreds of thousands of African jobs. Beijing formalized commercial engagement with Africa in 2013 with the Belt and Road Initiative, a well-resourced effort to build political influence and grow commercial relationships throughout the developing world through Chinese infrastructure lending, construction and resource extraction. A survey conducted earlier this year found that 76 percent of Africans aged 18-24 view China as a positive influence on their lives, compared with 72 percent for the US – further evidence that China is winning the battle for the hearts and minds of Africans. That is something US observers are starting to take note of. Released in August, the Biden administration's US-Africa strategy document highlights that with one of the world's fastest-growing populations, largest free-trade areas by geographical area and most diverse set of ecosystems, African governments, institutions, and people “will play a critical role in solving global challenges”. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jb-muwonge/message

The Freely Associated States (FAS) — comprised of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau — have exceptionally close relationships with the United States under the Compacts of Free Association. However, in the last decade, and especially the last five years, strategic competition between China and the United States has increased, and Beijing’s increasing engagement with the FAS is threatening U.S. interests both locally and in the broader Pacific region.

The United States is planning to partner with its G7 allies to embark on a global infrastructure initiative to counter China's influence, especially in what's referred to as the Indo-Pacific region.

China has dangled security agreements and cooperation on communications and cybersecurity before 10 Pacific nations. The Federated States of Micronesia has warned them not to go along with China. Also, Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine has made the company a lot of money — tens of billions of dollars in sales. Those dizzying returns have led to accusations of pandemic profiteering. Also, the Marcos family looted an estimated $10 billion from the Philippine government in the 1970s and '80s. Now, the Marcos family is back in power and once again, flaunting its wealth. And, spoken communication is not just a human gift. Chimpanzees have a 400-word language, according to new research published in the journal Communications Biology.

This week, ASPI released the report ‘Taking the low road: China's influence in Australian states and territories' which maps out the changing nature of China's engagement with Australian states and territories, local governments, city councils, universities, research organisations and non-government organisations. Peter Jennings is joined by report editor Emeritus Professor John Fitzgerald for a conversation on the report's findings. So far, 2022 has been full of strategic challenges; Covid-19 impacts are still being felt globally, tensions remain heightened between Russia and Ukraine, and a recent meeting between Presidents Putin and Xi has some analysts calling their relationship a de-facto alliance. Michael Shoebridge speaks to Arthur Snell about the latest developments, how the international world order is being challenged and why this is an important moment for democracies. In December last year, the White House released the first U.S. Strategy on Countering Corruption. Anastasia Kapetas and Dr Teagan Westendorf discuss the different pillars of the strategy and whether it will be enough to counter corruption globally.

China has held a soft power over Hollywood for the last few decades. Examples range from the cosmetic, like the way Chinese police heroically restore order in films like The 355. It can also be more overt, like China blocking the release of Chloé Zhao's film Eternals in the country. Sam and Erich Schwartzel talk about how and why China has influenced the American film industry and more reporting in his new book Red Carpet: Hollywood, China, and the Global Battle for Cultural Supremacy.

In this episode, Deep Pal joins Shibani Mehta to delve deep into China's influence in South Asia. In recent years, China's engagement in South Asia has expanded significantly beyond commercial and development projects to encompass political and security interests. While this interaction often targets the needs of specific countries, even states with relatively robust state institutions and civil society struggle to grapple with the implications of China's expanded footprint. Those without strong governance remain even more vulnerable to external interference in national affairs. China's meteoric economic rise has resulted in a massive expansion in its international economic aid and development programs. China is thus emerging as an attractive alternative to the established players in the global development space, such as the IMF and the World Bank. However, analysts suggest that development aid is often unsustainable for the host country, creating onerous debt obligations while making only marginal contributions to local employment. How has China's profile as a key economic partner developed in the South Asian region? What impact has China's economic aid had on its political influence in the region? And finally, how should India respond to China's economic clout in South Asia? Deep Pal is a visiting scholar in the Asia program at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He is also a non-resident fellow at the National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR). Before this, he has worked with NBR, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C., and at the Institute of International Relations in Taipei, Taiwan. He also has a decade's experience as a broadcast journalist for some of the most-watched television stations in India. Deep has recently authored the report ‘China's Influence in South Asia: Vulnerabilities and Resilience in Four Countries'.

Canada has fallen behind other nations in developing an Indo-Pacific strategy to help counter China's influence, diversify trade and bolster democratic values in the region, experts say.

Guest Charity Wright, Cyber Threat Intelligence Expert in Recorded Future's Insikt Group, joins Dave to discuss her research "China's Digital Colonialism: Espionage and Repression Along the Digital Silk Road". Through the Digital Silk Road Initiative (DSR), announced in 2015, the People's Republic of China (PRC) is building an expansive global data infrastructure and exporting surveillance technologies to dictators and illiberal regimes throughout the developing world, in some cases trading technology for access to sensitive user data and facial recognition intelligence. Domestically, China uses this type of technology to assert authority over its citizens, censor the media, quell protests, and systematically oppress religious minorities. Now, over 80 countries are enabled to do the same with Chinese surveillance technology.

Also, the Globe and Mail published two pages of advertorial content straight out of China Daily, a newspaper run by the PR department of the Chinese communist party.
