China's Pacific aid revealed
Updated
Chinese aid to the region is short-term and erratic, and the secrecy with which it is conducted obstructs development outcomes and breeds suspicion. Those are the findings of a new policy brief that will be presented at the Lowy Insitute, in Sydney later today by Research Fellow Dr Fergus Hanson. Dr Hanson is the first person to piece together detailed figures on Chinese aid spending in the Pacific and, in preparing this brief, conducted confidential in-depth interviews with key figures across the region.
Presenter: Jemima Garrett
