The Chinese communist regime has been exporting communist ideology and authoritarian control systems to developing countries under the guise of “business training” programs, according to the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub’s new report, “A Global South with Chinese characteristics.”

The Global South refers to developing countries, which are mostly (but not exclusively) in the southern hemisphere, including India, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, and most countries in Africa and Latin America. China is included too.
