This dataset created by AidDat a, a research lab at William & Mary‘s Global Research Institute, geolocates Chinese Government-financed projects that were implemented between 2000-2014.

It captures 3,485 projects worth $273.6 billion in total official financing. The dataset includes both Chinese aid and non-concessional official financing.

They have found that:

Chinese development projects in general, and Chinese transportation projects in particular, reduce economic inequality within and between subnational localities.
Chinese investments in “connective infrastructure” produce positive economic spillovers that lead to a more equal distribution of economic activity in the localities where they are implemented.
