The Research Of China's Foreign Aid Since Reform And Opening Up

The foreign aid contains profound values and significanc,donor countries to provide foreign aid is just a form of externalization of the concept of the value of the country itself holds,which resulting out the different types,modes and goals to pursue of aid.China's foreign aid has deep theoretical basis including the theory of Marxisms'internationalism,eight principles of economic and technical assistance,Mao zedong thought and the socialist theoretical system with Chinese characteristics,which reflects the profound value connotation of China's foreign aid.Since reform and opening up,China's foreign aid way for the moderj transformation in the condition of situations and challenges at home and abroad had changed.After several reforms for foreign aid,China's foreign aid has reached new developments,which mainly manifested in the following aspects:First,the four principles of equality and mutual benefits had become the guidelines of China's principle.Second,China's foreign aid not strings attached any political conditions.Third,China has established a set of modern management system,which include the ministry of commerce,the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of finance.Fourth,the preferential loans become one of the main methods of China's foreign aid.Under the guidance of China's foreign aid new developments,China's foreign aid practice gradually entered the stage of all-round development after reform and adjustment.Overall,after reform and opening up,the main objects of China's foreign aid are including less-developed countries and poor countries in Asia,Africa,the Caribbean and Latin American.The main field of China's foreign aid focus on development.But in other fields like political and security,China's foreign aid is relatively small,which is also conform to the reform idea of diplomacy should service economic.Since reform and opening up,China's foreign aid promoted the development of recipient countries and south-south cooperation.We can know,through the Eviews7.0 software regression analysis,China's foreign aid is benefits for the GDP growth of recipient countries,the growth of bilateral trade volume and the growth of China's investments in the recipient countries.At the same time,China's foreign aid also protects its own interests.For example,the recipient countries support for China to protects its own interests on issues such as Taiwan,Tibet and defeat the international anti-China proposals.Since reform and opening up,of course,China's foreign aid has some problems such as the propaganda work of foreign aid does not very effective,the ecological problems of foreign aid project turns politicized,the means of China's foreign aid is relatively single and the concepts of China's foreign aid needs further updates,etc.The aid practice after reform and opening up shows that China should continue to adhere the characteristic foreign aid mode of "aid and cooperation",which is not only suits for the conditions of China as a developing country,but also benefits for bilateral economic development and promote south-south cooperation progress.In order to enhance China's overall national interests,China should also strengthen the social responsibility construction of foreign aid enterprises,to further promote the balance in the field of foreign aid,to promote the effective propaganda work of foreign aid and enhance the stage of Chinese discussion in the field of foreign aid.However,China should rationally realized the boundary of aid work,which is not all-powerful.China should not exaggerated foreign aid function at the subjective level.Since reform and opening up,China gradually formed the characteristic foreign aid system,which showed a lot of features such as mutually beneficial and win-win,normative management,economic priority and fruitful in contrast to the United States,Japan,British,other OECD member states and the Soviet Union.These features reflect the distinct Chinese characteristics,which should be carry forward in the practice of foreign aid in China.At present,China is vigorously advocating external development strategy like The Belt and Road,which is not only opportunities but also challenges for China's foreign aid.The Belt and Road can not only promote the strategic position of China's foreign aid,but also enhance the level of China's foreign aid management and help to build a foreign aid theory with Chinese characteristic as well as promote the right of Chinese discussion in the field of foreign aid.In addition,in the construction of the Belt and Road,how to strengthen the strategic function of foreign aid to make it could take up more important strategic tasks?How to further enhance the effectiveness of China's foreign aid to builds a stable geopolitical environment for the Belt and Road?These questions are challenges from the Belt and Road for China's foreign aid.In the face of opportunities and challenges,China's foreing aid needs strategic adjustments.At the micro level,China can consider to set up the China international development and cooperation agency(CIDCA)as the main department to responsible for China's foreign aid,to put many foreign aids for the countries that in the boundary of the Belt and Road and to enrich the aid meas such as increase military and security aid in order to service the construction of the Belt and Road.At the medium level,China's foreign aid should be to match the Belt and Road as the main strategic objectiveness and make the division of labor come true with the Asian infrastructure investment Bank as well as the Silk Road fund.At the macro level,China needs updates the idea of foreign aid,leads the requirement of human comprehensive developments,drives the countries that in the boundary of the Belt and Road to participate the international managements and makes the international order more fair.
