In China and Foreign Aid, the authors expound on the critical role that Chinese foreign aid plays in the global governance system. While unprecedented humanitarian crises undermine global peace and development, major aid donors from the West have scaled back on aid funding and left behind a lacuna. As such, countries have turned to China, the world's greatest emerging power, for assistance and guidance. Since its establishment in the 1950s, Chinese foreign aid has evolved with the times, departing from Eurocentric models and developing its own vision and philosophy. The book traces the historical development of Chinese foreign aid in areas such as infrastructure, governance support, trade, agriculture, healthcare, environmental conservation, humanitarian work, education, and culture. Through the South-South Cooperation Framework and the Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese foreign aid pursues common development and shared interests. Banding together the developing countries, China aspires to contribute her solutions for foreign aid to build a community with shared future for mankind.60 多年来,中国对外援助涉及基础设施、减贫、农业、卫生、教育、环境、人道主义等诸多领域,广泛回应了发展中国家的发展诉求,走出了一条具有中国特色的对外援助道路。在新的历史时期,中国对外援助将秉承义利相兼、以义为先的正确义利观,围绕"一带一路"建设和促进实现2030 年可持续发展目标,为更多发展中国家提供发展助力,将"中国梦"与人类共同发展进步的"世界梦"全面对接,推动形成以共商共建共享为核心的新型全球治理体系,为构建人类命运共同体作出重要贡献。.

Terrorism has plagued modern society with countless issues. Ranging from politics to religion, terrorist organizations have used numerous means to manipulate humanity to the point of death and destruction. In 2017 alone, the world saw more than 20,000 incidences of terrorist attacks. With these atrocities fueling widespread fear amongst civilians and weighing heavier on world leaders, international organizations like the United Nations have been urgently developing counter-terrorism measures. In China and International Anti-terrorism, the authors trace the roots and evolution of different types of terrorism, discuss the achievements and challenges in today's international anti-terrorism cooperation, and present how China has contributed to the fight against terrorism in terms of national and regional security, economic policies, and multilateral cooperation. This book also shares China's years of experience in preventing terror attacks by carrying out top-level reforms and launching an "All-out People's War" against terrorism.中国长期以来坚持从国际社会整体利益出发的反恐出发点、正确的反恐义利观和综合的反恐观。作为负责任的大国,在国际反恐合作中,中国坚持反对一切形式的恐怖主义,坚持反对反恐的"双重标准",坚持联合国为主导的国际反恐合作机制,坚持将反恐纳入区域性国际组织合作的范围,坚持务实的双边反恐合作,坚持采取综合治理的方式解决产生恐怖主义的根源问题。以发展促安全,以安全保发展,是全面解决恐怖主义问题的必由之路。.
