SUMMARY:online discussion forum: Making Chinese Foreign Aid Transparent – What is Hidden in Data and Policy Documents?
DESCRIPTION:Since the turn of the millennium\, China has provided record amounts of development aid and other types of development finance to countries around the globe. However\, its grant-giving and lending activities remain intransparent. This is not least due to the institutional complexity of China’s system of foreign aid and the absence of comprehensive reporting systems for development projects. How can we therefore try to piece through the veil of secrecy and complexity? In this third Global China Conversation\, Brad Parks and Marina Rudyak will help us unravel some of the underlying processes. Marina Rudyak will guide us through the complexity of the institutional setup and outline what we can learn from official government documents. Brad Parks will offer us a bird’s-eye view of China’s geo-economic strategy before and after the introduction of the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013\, by looking at a uniquely comprehensive and granular dataset of international development finance from China that captures 13\,427 projects worth $843 billion across 165 countries in every major world region over an 18-year period. \nProgram\nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion.\nGlobal China Conversation #3 will take place in English. \nLiterature\nThe impulse lectures are based on the following publication:\nMalik\, A.\, Parks\, B.\, Russell\, B.\, Lin\, J.\, Walsh\, K.\, Solomon\, K.\, Zhang\, S.\, Elston\, T.\, and S. Goodman. (2021). Banking on the Belt and Road: Insights from a new global dataset of 13\,427 Chinese development projects.
