Acting as a Responsible Major Country
Speaking of China's foreign aid, public opinion is often either for or against it.Critics state that China is a developing country with a large population living in poverty； China should solve its own problems beforehelping others.These doubts should be put into perspective.Foreign aid is an integral part of the diplomatic polices of every country, rather than a special policy of developed countries.Developing countries also help each other.Pakistan, Equatorial Guinea and other economically less-developed brothers" provided assistance to China after the Wenchuan earthquake.
By extending foreign aid, China has built a favorable environment for development.Back in the 1960s and 1970s, China extended generous assistance to countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America despite its own economic difficulties, After the introduction of the reform and opening-up period, China still cherished its brotherly ties with developing countries.By jointly pursuing development and weathering difficulties with other developing countries, China improved its global status, and created the image for itself of being a responsible major country.
By extending foreign aid, China has also created more development opportunities.More and more Chinese enterprises are going global by undertaking construction projects overseas.Products made in China and created in China are gaining increasing global influence and competitiveness.In the field of foreign aid, China and the recipient countries have been working in a spirit of solidarity and mutual support, so as to realize their respective aspirations.
