China’s Impact on Global Development and Conflict
Channel: United States Institute of Peace
Date: 2017-12-07

China’s impact on global development is growing through its investments, foreign aid contributions, and financing platforms such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. On December 7, specialists on China’s economic development and fragile states will examine what the “China model” really is and whether China’s experiences can provide lessons on development for other countries, and discuss how Chinese investments and assistance might help mitigate or complicate local conditions in countries experiencing violent conflict.
