This paper aims to estimate China's net foreign aid from 2001 to 2013 as compared with net official development assistance (ODA) figures, which the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) customarily uses. First, a practical definition to capture China's foreign aid activities as a proxy for China's ODA was proposed. Second, both net and gross disbursements of China's foreign aid were estimated. Third, the results were compared with DAC members' ODA; China's donor ranking has moved up from 16th in 2001 to 6th in 2012 and 2013. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Watson, 2014;Xue, 2014). Recently, calls have been made to broaden the study of China's foreign aid program beyond these areas (Bräutigam, 2011;Kitano, 2014). In particular, research is needed on public opinion in China, given that this is likely to be an important determinant of China's foreign aid program in the future (Shimomura & Ohashi, 2013).…”

Public support for foreign aid in donor countries is highly correlated with how much donor countries are willing to give. There is, perhaps surprisingly, relatively little evidence on the determinants of public support for foreign aid in donor countries. And the evidence that does exist is for donors that are developed democratic countries. In this study we examine the determinants of public support for foreign aid in China. China is a particularly interesting case because it is both a recipient and donor of foreign aid. Thus, one would expect that the public's perceptions of China's own development needs would influence its support for China donating to other countries. We find that while political ideology and sense of national identity are the most important determinants of support for foreign aid, several demographic characteristics are also important. We also find that those living in the lower income western provinces and in provinces with higher poverty rates express less support for giving foreign aid. We draw policy implications from the findings for better targeting engagement strategies designed to garner support for foreign aid.

“…The final research topic aims to estimate China's development finance in accordance with the definition of Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD), which has been under discussion in the international community. Kitano and Harada (2014) originated during the process of writing Kitano (2014). It was later published in the Journal of International Development (Kitano and Harada 2016).…”
