Investigating China's Foreign Investment and Supply Chains

Chinese infrastructure investments and supply chains in mining, fishing, and manufacturing span the world.

This session brings together journalists who have successfully investigated Chinese economic links in their regions, offering practical tools, methodologies, and alternative data sources. The focus is on presenting actionable techniques for remote investigation.
