A Groundbreaking New Report Provides Unprecedented Insights Into Chinese Lending Practices Around the World

A new report provides an unprecedented view into Chinese loan contracts with dozens of governments throughout the Global South. Researchers from AidData, the Kiel Institute, and the Center for Global Development analyzed 100 contracts between Chinese state-owned entities and government borrowers in 24 countries and then compared the terms of those contracts with those of other bilateral, multilateral and commercial creditors.

An article in  today’s Global Times newspaper , one of China’s more bombastic nationalist tabloids, provides a glimpse into how determined Chinese officials are to “decouple” their trade with Australia, especially in the hugely valuable iron sector. Sino-Australian relations  deteriorated sharply in 2020  over disputes related to the origin of COVID-19, the South China Sea, and Huawei. Now,  Beijing appears determined to use Australia’s dependence on the Chinese market  as a weapon to retaliate against Canberra for what it sees are malign attacks. To that end, a Chinese team in Zambia installed the NEUH-60, a piece of equipment that will reportedly enhance Zambian iron ore to a similar level of quality as Australian ore. It’s clear from the quotes used in the Global Times story that the researchers involved in the project are clear about the objective: “Now China is enhancing the development of African iron mines, when the necessary bedrock infrastr...
