Chinese Officially Financed Projects: The View of Each Country
Looking At AidData's Global Chinese Development Finance Dataset, Version 3.0
This is the second of a three part series on Official Chinese Development Finance. For the full series click here.
Each bubble represents a project in the country selected below. The size of each bubble corresponds to the flow's amount in USD. Projects depicted by a star have no data on monetary amount, rather these are usually donations, technical assistance, actions related to debt, or other non-monetary aid.
To read about the projects' characteristics and descriptions, hover over or click on a bubble or star.
To make the interaction easier, subset by Flow Class between Official Development Aid, Other Official Flows, and Vague but still official finance.
The highlighting is done automatically using WinkNLP, a Natural Language Processing (NLP) library for the web. The importance of any given sentence is calculated using two hypotheses:
Part-of-speech blocks repeated frequently are more likely to bear more content
Part-of-speech blocks with more open-class words (ex: run, Berlin, constitution, quickly, blue) are more content rich than closed-class words (ex: he, in, they, can)
