[Part 2] The black, white, and gray of Chinese funding in Brazil

from The US-China Podcast

China remains one of the largest capital exporters in the world, yet there is generally a lack of reliable information on the consequences of Chinese overseas projects. These projects range into the billions and can be transformative for local economies, especially for emerging technologies, large-scale infrastructure, and sustainable energy projects. However, regulations for Chinese outbound investment can be immature and Chinese firms sometimes resort to shortcuts, violating laws of the host state. Particular areas of concern are labor violations and degradation of local environments. From building electrical transmission lines that power Brazil to mining bauxite in Guinea to produce aluminum, Chinese overseas projects affect the economy, local communities, and environment in many ways. How can the stories of these projects shed light on the good and bad practices of Chinese outbound investment?  Check out our website to learn more about the casebook and speakers as well as to watch the YouTube video!
