“…Chinese grantmaking to the developing world is comparably small and provides less than $10 billion in assistance over this same period. China's reliance on grants has perhaps increased in the years since 2017 (our data cutoff); some estimates suggest the volume of grants has doubled through 2021 66. Even so, China's use of grants as a development assistance tool remains relatively modest when compared with the United States.The United States uses other forms of economic assistance beyond grants and loans, as reflected in the data for other assistance in Figure3, which includes activities by the U.S. Export-Import Bank.67 But U.S. export promotion activities and Chinese activities are qualitatively different.…”

“…While China is the biggest bilateral lender in Africa, it holds only 12% of African external debt, compared to 13% by other governments, 39% by multilateral institutions and 35% by Western private lenders (Debt Justice, 2022). Moreover, there is evidence that increased flows of Chinese official assistance lead to increased flows of ODA from DAC donors to the same countries due to competition with China (Mandon & Tesfaye Woldemichael, 2022). In particular, G7 countries and World Bank have been found to channel more financing into infrastructure projects in countries where China is more active coupled with a decrease in conditionality (Mandon & Tesfaye Woldemichael, 2022, p. 7).…”

This paper applies Marcel Mauss' Gift Theory in conjunction with Qin Yaqing's Relational Theory to Chinese foreign aid. It proposed that this approach allows to conceptualise Chinese aid to Africa as a continuous gift cycle initiated in Bandung and has been going uninterrupted till today. The paper argues through the language of reciprocity and relationality, China symbolically affords the recipient status in a way that Northern aid does not. The real existing power asymmetries between China and Africa do not per se translate into unlimited influence as China can never be sure of reciprocity and is obliged to keep giving continuously.
