![China isn’t ramping up global health aid to fight Ebola
“People have been waiting for China to emerge as a global health force for a long time. . . . But when you look at what China did in [the West Africa Ebola] outbreak and then what they’re doing now, you get a better sense of what China’s real interests are in global health,” says CFR global health expert Tom Bollyky.
Bollyky joined James M. Lindsay on The President’s Inbox podcast to discuss how a major Ebola outbreak in Central Africa exposed critical gaps in global health surveillance and assesses U.S. preparedness for future biological threats.
