WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN
There are some news stories that are not very "sexy" but will have a lasting impact for years to come. If you are interested in the world economy this is one of those stories. https://t.co/sOUc2rbRMS
Africa, China & Debt. The best 6mins you can watch on the issue and how we shud be discussing the topic free from the Chinese nationalism rhetoric of "win win cooperation" or the scaremongering headlines of "debt-colonialism" (and yes @hmryder is my wife) https://t.co/uDyBNnosOt
With the 2nd #BeltandRoad Forum coming up im hearing a lot of questions about #debt and #China. Is it too much? Is it predatory? Here is a video setting out our view @DevReimagined of the right answer and the real challenges that need to be addressed https://t.co/wjWZiFPypK
If any more evidence was needed that we need new approaches to development - here is one example... @ODIdev research suggests "an urgent reality check" on using public finance to mobilise private finance is needed... And we agree! That's why we are here!

Wondering what the fuss around #China's #BeltandRoad is all about?
look no further than this digest produced by one of the top experts we worked with last year - @lindacalab from @ODIdev: https://t.co/tqvZrmreKB
Late on this one but still important reading for all donors and agencies working to increase the role of the #privatesector in #development - issue to look out for flagged by this @icai_uk report on @CDCgroup
Solid analysis from @D_Brautigam @SAISAfrica w/ regard to #China's alleged practice of "debt-trap diplomacy"
Instead of focusing on ecological & econ aspects to provide better alternatives, West's critique of #BRI is misplaced & driven by geopolitical rivarly. @cynthiamckinney https://t.co/IiXNMU3pcl
So much propaganda on BRI from both sides (ie Beijing and DC). This article is a good reminder to keep questioning all the messages we hear. And a reminder the issue of China's infrastructure investments overseas is not black and white, us and them, or as simple as for or against https://t.co/eoJOg3Q2FR
Are ports owned and operated by #China on the #beltandroad a security or #debt problem? The always brilliant @D_Brautigam sets out some excellent global stats and comparisons, and explains how we should all analyse these projects... #globaldev

Is #china's foreign aid rising? What do we know about its impact on African countries? Discussed these and other questions on @thepointwithlx last night - listen in to the first 15 minutes of the link below... #ODA #globaldev

Those worried about the impact of automation on #development, #jobs & #SDG achievement in poor countries that want to industrialise - Please read this important thread...
"In real life, social change drives innovation. Not the other way around"
@SarahTaber_bww - well said.
Very helpful summary of #China's #BRI from @RollandNadege of NBR - ahead of the second Belt and Road Forum from April 25-26 in Beijing

Poor countries have been constantly told to cut taxes to "improve the business environment" & attract foreign investors. That message is finally, rightly starting to be withdrawn - especially since the @UN pitches domestic tax as key to financing the SDGs
