The Chinese View: Reflection of the Long-Term Experiences of Aid Receiving and Giving

  • Chapter
A Study of China’s Foreign Aid

Abstract

China has been involved in foreign aid for over 50 years, and is increasing its influential power as a provider of aid. Since the 1960s, China has increasingly expanded the scale and coverage of foreign aid by gradually developing its own practical characteristics from unidirectional simplified free economic aid to equal consultation, mutual benefits and a win-win comprehensive aid pattern. This was done by adapting to changes at home and abroad, and by developing and optimizing foreign aid patterns during the course of foreign aid activities.
