China’s GDI: Elevating foreign aid for Malaysia


SINCE 1970, China has played an active role in over 100 aid projects across numerous developing countries globally. In 2020, China’s international assistance through the Global Development Initiatives reached $3.12bil, nearly five times higher than the amount in 1999. Beginning in 2021, the primary beneficiaries of this aid have been developing countries. The total sum of $3.12bil has brought substantial benefits to a multitude of countries and millions of individuals.

China’s vision for Global Development Initiatives (GDI) centres on eight key priority areas: poverty alleviation, food security, pandemic response and vaccines, financing for development, climate change and sustainable development, industrialisation, digital economy and connectivity. These GDI priorities have the potential to pave the way for other countries to attain a brighter future and enhance the well-being of their populations.
