Kevin Gallagher, <\/a>Associate Professor of Global Development Policy at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies<\/a> at Boston University, said that the fate of the U. S. Export-Import Bank, currently being decided by Congress, would have profound implications for the position of China on the world stage.<\/p>\n

Gallagher made his case in a June 22 op-ed in the Financial Times<\/em> co-written with Gregory Chin, entitled “Demise of the U. S. Ex-Im Bank Would Leave Field to China.”<\/a><\/p>\n

From the text of the article:<\/p>\n

“Although the majority in Congress want to reauthorize and revitalize the bank, the Republican leadership has yet to schedule a vote on renewing the Agency’s charter and thus stands to eliminate the Ex-Im Bank by June 30th of this year. The administration of Barack Obama has been largely silent on the issue.<\/p>\n

The Ex-Im Bank has proven strategic in geopolitical and economic terms for the United States. Now, as China rises, the U.S. should be increasing the presence and performance of the Ex-Im Bank to both serve as an example for responsible global public finance, and to bolster the presence of American firms in global markets.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
