The Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s International Cyber Policy Centre has created a public database to map the global expansion of 23 key Chinese technology companies. In April 2019 we mapped companies working across the Internet, telecommunications & biotech sectors. In November 2019 we added companies working predominantly in artificial intelligence (AI) and surveillance technologies.

Chinese technology companies are increasingly important and dynamic international actors. They are making critical contributions in a range of areas, from cutting edge research to enabling connectivity for developing countries. Yet their rapid expansion and growing influence also bring a range of strategic, policy and human rights challenges. This website is a tool for journalists, researchers, NGOs, policymakers and the interested public to better understand the enormous scale, complexity and increasing global reach of some of China’s tech giants.
