Un evento che va oltre i titoli dei giornali
[Greenville, SC] – March 4, 2024 – Upstate International is pleased to announce that Dr. Katherine Kaup will be the distinguished speaker at the upcoming Oltre i titoli dei giornali Serie event on March 13il, 2024, at the Kroc Center in downtown Greenville.
Within the last year, more than 109,000 Americans died from drug overdoses. More than two-thirds of these deaths involved fentanyl and related synthetic drugs. Though China banned the sale of fentanyl in 2018, it remains the largest supplier of the drug’s precursor ingredients. These ingredients supply Mexican drug cartels that then smuggle finished fentanyl into the United States. Fierce competition and tensions between the US and China have stalled counter-narcotics cooperation. Recent agreements may signal progress in this arena, but will they be enough to stem the US overdose epidemic? What needs to be done to stop the influx of fentanyl? Do we need to comprise on other US priorities to gain China’s cooperation?
Dr. Katherine Kaup is a James B. Duke Professor of Asian Studies and Politics and International Affairs at Furman University. She serves on the Board of Directors for the National Committee on United States-China Relations. Her research focuses on ethnic minorities, rule of law, and human rights developments in China as well as on US-China relations.

She has served as special adviser for Minority Nationalities Affairs at the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, Distinguished Visiting Professor at Yunnan Minzu University, Visiting Scholar at the Guangxi Ethnic Affairs Commission, and PI/Program Director for several federally-funded Chinese language programs and for the Luce Initiative on Asian Studies and the Environment.
