Abstract

[The rise of China from a recipient to a net donor is a defining feature of twenty-first-century aid architecture, where the traditional donors’ aid is dwindling and the gap left by these countries is being filled by emerging powers with their own aid programmes. With the rising economic clout, China has pushed its aid programmes to new levels, where its volume and geographic scope has expanded considerably, signifying its changing priorities and preferences. While China identifies itself as an emerging power of the Global South, its increasing role in international politics, where it is ready to take over the US in the economic realm and expanding its global influence through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) brings forth the ambiguities in China’s desire for a global role and its preferred identity. This chapter argues that China is using its aid as an instrument to create favourable outcomes and trying to build its standing vis-a-vis other players, including great powers and regional powers, thereby consolidating its position in the global order.]
