欧美对中国对外援助的认知及其启示

European and American Recognition on China's Foreign Aid and Its Revelation

近年来,中国对外援助重新受到西方的关注。欧盟和美国的研究者普遍把中国视为"新兴援助体",尤为关注中国对外援助不断增加的规模、不附加任何政治条件的特点、政治经济动机,以及对西方主导的国际援助规范的可能影响等问题。总体而言,这些研究给予了中国对外援助比较积极的评价,并且潜在地确认了中国对外援助实现政策目标的有效性。这对中国对外援助的启示意义在于,我们应在对外援助的规模、模式和方式等方面保持基本的稳定和持续性,扩展与发达援助体的合作,同时根据对外战略的变化进行必要而适度的调整。

In recent years,China's foreign aid regains attention from the West. Generally,researchers from Europe and America recognize China as an'emerging donor'and pay attention to such problems as the increasing size,the characteristic of no-political-strings-attached,the political and economic motivations of China's foreign aid,and its effects on international aid norms dominated by the West. In fact,the conclusions drawn by Western researchers give a relatively positive evaluation to China's foreign aid and confirm its effectiveness as a policy tool. In conclusion,China should maintain the stability and sustainability in the size,pattern,and mode of the foreign aid,expand cooperation with developed donors,and meanwhile conduct necessary and proper adjustments according to the changes of foreign strategy.
