Description
The Mapping Global China Initiative is an open-access geospatial platform offering data-driven analysis of China's international economic engagement, with particular focus on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The platform provides interactive maps, datasets, and research on Chinese infrastructure investments, energy projects, port acquisitions, soft power activities (Confucius Institutes, leader visits), and other dimensions of China's global presence, drawing on sources including the Reconnecting Asia Project, AidData GeoQuery, the Boston University Global China Dataset, and projects at NYU Shanghai and the University of Hong Kong. Each mapped project links to satellite imagery enabling before-and-after comparison of development sites. The platform also hosts research briefs, story maps, and community features for collaborative engagement with Global China research.
