BEIJING: The US canceled two aid projects in Cambodia in late February - one to encourage child literacy and another to improve nutrition and development for kids under five. A week later, China’s aid agency announced funding for programmes to achieve almost identical goals.
"Children are the future of the country and the nation,” China’s ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wenbin (pic) said at the event, standing next to the country’s health minister and a Unicef official. "We should care for the healthy growth of children together.”
