DESCRIPTION
China.AidData.org provides rigorous evidence and uniquely comprehensive data about China's overseas development program through systematic tracking and analysis by AidData, a research lab at William & Mary. The platform documents the changing nature, scale, and scope of China's international development finance and foreign aid, offering the most detailed publicly available information on Chinese development projects worldwide. The database covers thousands of projects across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and other regions, including loans, grants, technical assistance, and other forms of development cooperation. AidData's research reveals the global impact of Chinese development activities and examines how these programs are perceived in recipient countries across the Global South. The platform features interactive visualizations, downloadable datasets, and analytical reports that enable researchers, policymakers, and journalists to understand patterns in Chinese development finance, compare Chinese aid with Western donors, and assess the effectiveness and impact of these programs. This resource has become essential for studies of contemporary international development, China's global influence, and South-South cooperation.
