Information dataset of China’s overseas industrial parks from 1992 to 2018

Since China’s initiative of the Belt and Road Initiative, overseas industrial parks have become an important carrier for economic and trade cooperation and have become an important force for Chinese enterprises to go global.However, although there are many industrial parks invested by Chinese companies abroad, there is not yet a comprehensive statistical work that is crucial for national or corporate investors.The start-up time of some parks and the name of Chinese enterprises that are under construction are difficult to find, so comprehensive statistical work is relatively difficult.This paper collects data through the network crawling technology, the public number of the Belt and Road International Industrial Park, the official website of the major enterprises participating in the Belt and Road construction, and the database of the Ministry of Commerce.Under the most comprehensive collection possible, a detailed data set of the China Outland Campus Belt and Road Project from 1992 to 2018 was compiled.This data set summarizes the existing park names and determines the total number of parks currently built in China; statistics on the number of parks on each continent to understand the distribution of the park; then analyze the type of the park, and understand the distribution of resources in the area by type; finally,compare the time between the construction of the park and the time of the country where the park is located join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank(AIIB) to know the relationship between the AIIB and the park.
