The Bottom Line Up Front

On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, C4ADS hosted a webinar that explored data-driven methodologies for investigating entities involved in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This event built on Bulldozed, our new commentary on the same subject, which harnesses the power of publicly available information to gain new insight into the Western financial institutions enabling, and the BRI host nations that may be most at risk from, BRI-related illicit activity.

C4ADS held The Data-Driven Approach to Investigating the BRI at 10 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.

At this webinar, our analysts discussed China’s BRI, corruption in some of the companies behind it, and which host nations are at risk of their ongoing illicit activity. Exclusively at this event, we built on our upcoming related publication by elucidating additional BRI companies engaged in similar patterns of corruption to highlight risk indicators and behaviors.
