1 Data Collection China does not publish official data on its aid program at a country level. It also does not provide a regular annual aid budget; agreements on funding have traditionally been ad hoc. Finding accurate information is therefore more challenging than for other donors. The data collection process for this project was multifaceted. But it involved four main phases. 1. Searching official government documents of Pacific island countries Including budget documents, treasury statements, parliamentary or congressional acts, committee reports These sources were used for finding data on project costs and type of funding 2. Searching Chinese government websites and official statements Including Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Commerce, and Embassy and Economic and Commercial Counsellor websites Including announcements of project agreements, groundbreaking ceremonies, and handover ceremonies These sources were used for finding data on project timeframes, Chinese contractors, and type of funding 3. Searching secondary sources for references to specific projects Including media reports (Chinese and in Pacific island countries), announcements on Chinese contractor websites/annual reports, YouTube entries, official Facebook pages, and photos of projects These sources were used for confirming specific details of projects, particularly project start and completion dates, the name of the Chinese contractor, and project components 4. Interviews, site visits, direct requests Including interviews with key government officials in Fiji (2009; 2014), Cook Islands (2013) and Papua New Guinea (2009) and visits to project sites Including direct email requests to Chinese representatives, project managers, government officials in specific departments, other key stakeholders throughout the Pacific islands region These were used to verify specific details of projects Information was crosschecked across multiple sources. Information from official Chinese and Pacific island government sources and project documents was privileged over media reports, as the latter can be unreliable (e.g. projects announced more than once; confusion in type of aid; inadvertent errors in project costs). When there was a slight discrepancy in project cost, the RMB figure was used, as the difference is likely due to currency conversion.

   Data  Collection    China  does  not  publish  official  data  on   its  aid  program  at  a  country   level.   It  also  does  not  provide  a  regular  annual  aid  budget;  agreements  on  funding  have  traditionally  been  ad   hoc.   Finding   accurate   information   is   therefore   more   challenging   than   for   other  donors.  The  data  collection  process  for  this  project  was  multifaceted.  But  it  involved  four  main  phases.    

1. Searching  official  government  documents  of  Pacific  island  countries  • Including   budget   documents,   treasury   statements,   parliamentary   or  

congressional  acts,  committee  reports  • These  sources  were  used  for  finding  data  on  project  costs  and  type  of  funding  

2. Searching  Chinese  government  websites  and  official  statements  • Including  Ministry   of   Foreign  Affairs,  Ministry   of  Commerce,   and  Embassy  

and  Economic  and  Commercial  Counsellor  websites  • Including  announcements  of  project  agreements,  groundbreaking  ceremonies,  

and  handover  ceremonies  • These   sources   were   used   for   finding   data   on   project   timeframes,   Chinese  

contractors,  and  type  of  funding  3. Searching  secondary  sources  for  references  to  specific  projects  

• Including   media   reports   (Chinese   and   in   Pacific   island   countries),  announcements   on   Chinese   contractor   websites/annual   reports,   YouTube  entries,  official  Facebook  pages,  and  photos  of  projects  

• These   sources   were   used   for   confirming   specific   details   of   projects,  particularly   project   start   and   completion   dates,   the   name   of   the   Chinese  contractor,  and  project  components  

4. Interviews,  site  visits,  direct  requests  • Including  interviews  with  key  government  officials  in  Fiji   (2009;  2014),  Cook  

Islands  (2013)  and  Papua  New  Guinea  (2009)  and  visits  to  project  sites  • Including  direct  email  requests  to  Chinese  representatives,  project  managers,  

government   officials   in   specific   departments,   other   key   stakeholders  throughout  the  Pacific  islands  region  

• These  were  used  to  verify  specific  details  of  projects    Information   was   crosschecked   across   multiple   sources.   Information   from   official  Chinese   and  Pacific   island  government   sources   and  project  documents  was  privileged  over  media   reports,   as   the   latter   can  be  unreliable   (e.g.  projects   announced  more   than  once;   confusion   in   type   of   aid;   inadvertent   errors   in   project   costs).  When   there  was   a  slight  discrepancy   in  project   cost,   the  RMB   figure  was  used,   as   the  difference   is   likely  due  to  currency  conversion.
