China’s Development Finance to Asia
Oh, Yoon Ah | August 2018
Abstract
This study empirically examines China’s development finance to developing countries with a focus on Asia from 2000 to 2012. It uses AidData's Global Chinese Official Finance Dataset, one of the most reliable and publicly available data sources that systematically collects and differentiates different types of China’s official development financial flows, to produce descriptive and inferential statistics for Asia, a world region where the rise of China poses unique challenges. Descriptive statistical analysis indicates that South Asia was the largest recipient of China’s ODA-like flows in Asia for the period under study while the majority of China’s OOF-like flows to Asia went to Eastern Europe and Central Asia. In both types of flows, energy, transport, and mining sectors received the bulk of financing. The estimation results show that China’s allocation decisions for its concessional flows in the region have strong motives of pursuing strategic interests while its less concessional flows are committed to more governance-challenged countries. This study also provides detailed discussion of the trends in China’s development finance to Southeast Asia, a subregion which is critical to China’s strategic and economic interests.

From Declaration to Code : Continuity and Change in China’s Engagement with ASEAN on the South China Sea.
Ha, Hoang Thi (ISEAS Yusof Ishak Institute, 2019-02-28)Developments in the South China Sea (SCS) over the past two decades provide a telling illustration of the evolution of ASEAN–China relations. Its progression since the early 1990s indicates how the relationship has grown more asymmetrical, how realpolitik has marched ahead of the rule of law, and how power equations in the SCS are rapidly changing as a result of China’s rise. China started negotiations ...Developments in the South China Sea (SCS) over the past two decades provide a telling illustration of the evolution of ASEAN–China relations.

Grow Green China Inc.: How China’s epic push for cleaner energy creates economic opportunity for the West
Ball, Jeffrey (Brookings India, 2019-05-30)Everything is big in China. That’s true of the traditional part of the economy, which is brown, and of the newer part, which increasingly is green. Rightfully, the dirty part of Chinese growth—the smog, the water pollution, the infrastructure locking in massive greenhouse gas emissions for decades—prompts nearly universal concern. Yet even the breakneck growth of the clean part of China’s industrial ...Everything is big in China.
