Brian and Prof. Ken Hammond discuss U.S.-China relations, China\u2019s role in Africa and the new Cold War. In a stunning display of hypocrisy, western powers are decrying China for alleged \u201ccolonialism\u201d in Africa. What is the true nature of China\u2019s economic and diplomatic engagement with the continent, and how does the corporate media try to twist reality? Prof. Hammond explains the vital historical context to understand the China-Africa relationship, and how the United States has Africa in the crosshairs as it pursues its new Cold War.<\/p>\n

Dr. Ken Hammond, professor of East Asian and Global History at New Mexico State University, founding director of the Confucius Institute at New Mexico State University, and activist with Pivot to Peace.<\/p>\n
