[Tree] US assistance to countries facing economic coercion from China

Version 0.13 (2024-05-27 04:58:25.785000)

updates: The US State Department has formed a team to assist countries facing economic coercion from China. The team, informally known as 'the firm,' is led by Melanie Hart and operates as a consultancy, providing analysis of trade vulnerabilities, diversification strategies, and public support if requested. The formation of the team came after Washington intervened in 2021 when Beijing attempted to penalize Lithuania for establishing a liaison office with Taiwan. Since then, numerous nations across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe have sought guidance on dealing with or mitigating economic pressure from China. The US has adopted a more proactive approach, acknowledging past failures to adequately support allies like South Korea and Australia. Challenges persist, including internal political divisions and skepticism regarding US trade commitments.
