Abstract
The growth of Chinese global official finance has stimulated great interest among foreign aid advocates. Yet, until now, a lack of systematic data reporting has limited our understanding of Chinese official finance. Against this background, this article describes and compares two internationally comparable Chinese datasets from 2005 to 2014: AidData and the China Global Investment Tracker (CGIT). This study summarises China's priority areas of investment and the actual volume of Chinese finance, including a breakdown of these estimates by region and sector. Despite significant disparities between the two databases, this study shows that Chinese investment preferences in terms of locality and priority sectors are broadly consistent with the existing pattern.
中国全球官方融资的增长激发了对外援助倡导者的极大兴趣。然而，到目前为止，由于缺乏系统的数据报告，限制了我们对中国官方财政的理解。在此背景下，本文描述并比较了2005年至2014年两个具有国际可比性的中国数据集:AidData和China Global Investment Tracker (CGIT)。本研究总结了中国的优先投资领域和中国融资的实际规模，包括按地区和行业分列的这些估计。尽管两个数据库之间存在显著差异，但本研究表明，中国在地方和优先行业方面的投资偏好与现有模式大致一致。
