From Development-Oriented Aid to Capacity-Oriented Aid:The Paradigm Shifts of International Development Cooperation in China
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China,its approach to foreign aid has followed a unique trajectory.Compared with other major powers,China's foreign aid policy insists on not imposing any political conditions and not interfering in recipient countries'internal affairs,forming a paradigm of development-oriented aid.Despite certain achievements,such a paradigm also has its limits,as the recipient countries fail to develop the capability for sustainable self-development.As China's comprehensive national strength and international influence continue to grow,China's aid paradigm has gradually transitioned from a paradigm of foreign aid dominated by internationalism to"international development cooperation"aiming to achieve shared growth through consultation and collaboration.Through case analysis of China's aid to Ghana,Africa,the study finds that such transition is inevitable in the new era,while the international development system design and capacity for governance determine the effect of aid.In the new era,while respecting the wishes of recipient countries,China's international development cooperation should remain committed to the Global South,give greater emphasis to capacity-oriented aid within the framework of the South-South cooperation,and continuously improve the system for governance of trilateral and regional cooperation with relevant parties to achieve complementary and fruitful cooperation,thereby improving the capacity for governance of development cooperation and jointly promoting the process of global poverty alleviation and sustainable development.
