SUMMARY:How does China’s Foreign Aid Undermine the Effectiveness of US Fo
 reign Policy? —Evidence from UN General Assembly Voting Data
DESCRIPTION:\n	Wen-Chin Wu (Assistant Research Fellow\, Institute of Polit
 ical Science\, Academia Sinica\; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20)\n	Chair/d
 iscussant: Christina Davis (Professor of Government\, Harvard University\
 ; Susan S. and Kenneth L. Wallach Professor\, Radcliffe Institute)\n\n	Co-
 sponsored with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n\n	The economic 
 rise of China is inspiring a burgeoning literature on how China uses its e
 conomic power to influence other countries’ domestic politics and foreig
 n policy. In this study\, I analyze how China’s foreign aid discourages 
 its recipients from complying with US foreign policy goals in the United N
 ations General Assembly (UNGA). Previous studies have shown that the US ca
 n successfully lobby other states to support its position in votes on UN r
 esolutions that it deems important to US interests\, such as those on huma
 n rights issues. In this study\, I use a new dataset on Chinese foreign ai
 d and hypothesize that the emergence of China as a major donor makes devel
 oping countries less dependent on US aid. In particular\, third countries 
 would be less likely to comply with the US on important votes in the UNGA 
 if they receive more aid from China.
