China's Economic System and Development Finance (Top Up grant)

China provided a huge amount of development finance to Global South countries in the 2010s, leading to significant changes in global trade and investment flows. Despite the uncertainties created by the Sino-US trade war, the Covid-19 outbreak and the escalating tension between China and western countries in recent years, China has remained to be an important source of finance for the developing economies. How to make use of the development finance from China to achieve better economic, social and environmental outcomes has been a subject of interest to many stakeholders in the Global South countries, including the government officials, think tanks, academics, and civil and social organizations. This project aims to provide up-to-date analyses of China’s development finance and careful studies of the relevant areas of China’s economic system, and disseminate the knowledge to the stakeholders in Global South countries.
