Mapping Chinese Development Aid

"The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is a non­partisan entity serving Congressional staff and committee members with up­to­date information regarding international and domestic policy issues. Just as the Chinese economy has developed so has its diplomatic reach, but the scope of Chinese assistance to and interaction with developing countries is not well understood. At the request of CRS, this Capstone team undertook research to link hard data to Chinese development flows to Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Through the use of various media, financial, and research sources, the team created a database and prepared a report analyzing various categories and trends in development assistance throughout these regions.
