KQED World: Fri, Jun 28, 2013 -- 4:30 AM
The U.S., for better or worse, is often seen as the world's policeman.

Why do we intervene in some conflicts and stand on the sidelines in others?

Feeding The Dragon: China In Africa (Episode #403)
KQED World: Fri, Jun 7, 2013 -- 4:30 AM
African economies are booming like never before, thanks in large part to China. The global giant is investing in infrastructure projects to help it tap into the continent's resources - oil, minerals, and its huge agricultural potential. Critics charge China with cozying up to dictators and ignoring issues of human rights and transparency. Others fear that US is being left behind and its influence in Africa waning. China in Africa. Next on "Great Decisions."
