China's development finance and infrastructure development in the Global South.
Since the millennium, China has emerged as a major provider of development finance and infrastructure development in the Global South. This has been reinforced with the Chinese “Belt and Road” initiative launched in 2013.
It terms of volume China’s contribution is comparable to that provided by the World Bank and the traditional providers of such support.
What difference does China make? Is its provision of such finance different from that coming from other providers? And how does China view and respond to critical issues such as financial sustainability and the challenge of debt?
