This is about $1M right? A few orders of magnitude below what others are providing while feeding the boot that stomps on the humans in need of said humanitatian assistance. Hey it's a start but China the world is watching you
- ChemSpider 5y agoThat is not even a start, the amount is adding insult to injury. We are talking about a (self-proclaimed) economic superpower, and not a local bakery chain in Beijing.
- raxxorrax 5y agoChina is still considered a developing country and that is pretty much true for a vast amount of Chinese people. There are some exceptions already, but there is merit to the classification.
- mekster 5y agoIt doesn't matter how you want to call it but compare with GDP vs $1m donation and see if it's a joke or an effort.
- childintime 5y agoThe Netherlands alone collected over 100 million euros this week. 5000x as much per person.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoNetherlands donations would be closer to 9000 times Chinese donations per capita. Netherlands donated more than 100 million. China is 1,4 billion people, not 1 billion and the donated amount is 800 k. Not 1 million. Netherlands is 17,3 million people, not 20 million. Additionally, Netherlands donated euros, not dollars. -- If you take into consideration that Ukraine was a "one road one belt" partner and had a nuclear protection agreement with China. In return, Ukraine also delivered a lot of food/wheat. Then you can see that any notion of China as a strong ally is too ridiculous to even consider.
