The article discusses President Trump's focus on China in relation to global health policy, particularly his executive order to withdraw from the WHO. Critics argue that distancing from the organization allows China to exert more influence. This concern coincides with Trump's freezing of foreign aid, which may push countries towards China for support. Experts emphasize that the dynamics between the U.S. and China in global health are rooted in broader geopolitical rivalry rather than health issues alone. China's increased investments in health initiatives, such as the Health Silk Road, represent a shift in a traditionally U.S.-dominated sphere.
The key to understanding what's going on here [is] it has nothing to do with global health. It has everything to do with the competition and the rivalry between those two powers.
Freezing aid is going to destabilize countries [who received U.S. aid]. You know what they're doing? They're going to China and Russia.
