By encouraging Chinese capital to invest into infrastructure development in foreign countries, the BRI has extended Chinese economic and political influence in southeast Asia, central Asia and Africa. While there are many studies on the BRI, there is still very little written on what has this initiative created. Current empirical studies on how Chinese outward FDI have changed after the launch of the BRI show that investments have primarily gone into energy manufacturing and in building industrial parks and special economic zones. As part of this project, we are trying to build a unique series of dataset that show the amount of Chinese FDI that have happened into industrial parks and special economic zones, with special focus on 10 ASEAN countries. We can then utilize the datasets to analyse the effectiveness and efficiency of BRI and discuss the initiative’s impacts to both China and host countries. The project is still underway, and this progress report will discuss howwe constructed the dataset of industrial parks for these countries, the methodology we used to match industrial parks with China’s FDI records, and the preliminary results we observed from Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar. Trade and Investment under China's Belt and Road Initiative - Implications for Hong Kong Supervisor: TRITTO Angela / IEMS Co-supervisor: PARK Albert Francis / IEMS Student: ZHANG Qingqi / ECOF Course: UROP1100, Fall This report summarizes my procedure of conducting analysis of key energy policies in all ASEAN countries during the fall semester. The specific tasks include but are not limited to outlining the renewable energy policies in the 10 ASEAN countries, constructing a brief dataset of energy production and consumption for 10 ASEAN countries using the BP Statistical Review of World Energy, as well as editing and updating the statistics and policies in two UOB reports concerning Belt and Road in Southeast Asia (Myanmar and Malaysia).
