Director, East-West Center in Washington
Tensions between China and the United States have drawn global attention to competition in the bilateral relationship.
However, might the two countries pursue development cooperation to third countries? China-US aid cooperation in third countries is the focus of Dr. Denghua Zhang’s research at East West Center in Washington. His study aimed to enrich the literature by examining the nature and prospect of aid cooperation in China-US bilateral relations. It focused on four aspects: overview, assessment, prospects, and policy recommendations. The analysis revealed that aid cooperation in third countries has played a more notable role in facilitating China-US bilateral relations than in promoting aid effectiveness. It argued that competition between China and the US should not obscure areas of mutual interest and where cooperation is possible. Aid cooperation has the potential to bridge North-South and South-South cooperation. However, China-US aid cooperation cannot be taken for granted. More efforts are needed from the two countries if aid cooperation is to be sustained and thrive.
Dr. Denghua Zhang is a Research Fellow at the Department of Pacific Affairs, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, Australian National University.

He is also Senior Advisor, Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) and Senior Fellow on Asia History and Policy at the Foreign Policy Institute at Paul H. Nitze School of International Studies (SAIS).
