With U.S./China relations strained and tensions rising in the Taiwan Straits, there are several worse case scenarios that could play out; with economic decline and war among the scenerios.

China has a larger navy and more people under arms, making China “a major military power,” says Richard Harknett, professor and director of UC’s School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA).

SPIA was created out of the former Department of Political Science, which dates to 1914. Experts from the school are regularly cited in national and international media outlets

Harknett, and his colleague Gregory Winger, an assistant professor at SPIA, spoke to Fox 19 News Now regarding growing concerns over China; and the way in which the U.S. is intermingled with the country in everything from consumer products to technology to science.  

Disruptions in the supply chain would place a heavy burden on the U.S., says Winger, but it might benefit the U.S. in the long run by making the country less dependent on China.

UC alum credits journalism program with early success

June 26, 2024

Zachary Jarrell came to the University of Cincinnati in 2019 to pursue a degree in statistics. In 2023, he graduated with a Bachelor’s in Journalism. For many undergraduates, the journey through college rarely takes the expected track. Detours happen, and majors change. When plans switch up, it can be helpful to a student’s success to find support. For Jarrell, it was the people he worked alongside in the journalism department who helped him on his journey. It has left a lasting impression on his life so far, guiding him to multiple internships as an undergraduate, real-world experience in prominent news outlets, and eventually a successful career in the highly competitive field of journalism.
