China Offers Relatively Modest Aid for Typhoon Victims
http://sinosphere.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/11/china-offers-rel
As international aid pours into the Philippines for victims of Typhoon
Haiyan, China has offered $100,000 in cash, a figure that seems modest
compared with its other recent contributions for humanitarian relief abroad.
Qin Gang, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told reporters on
Monday that China would send that amount to help the Philippines recover
from a disaster that has left as many as 10,000 people dead. Asked if the
donation was scaled according to the current chill in relations between
China and the Philippines, Mr. Qin declined to answer.
In September, China said it would give a $1.5 million cash grant to Pakistan
, its close friend, after an earthquake killed an estimated 500 people in
the province of Baluchistan.
After a tropical storm hit the Philippines in 2011, China pledged $1 million
in humanitarian aid. That was before relations between the two countries
soured over disputed islands and reefs in the South China Sea.
On Monday, about 90 United States Marines arrived in the Philippines from
their base in Japan to help distribute food assistance, and two Navy
surveillance aircraft were dispatched for air and sea rescues. The United
States Embassy in Manila made $100,000 immediately available for health and
sanitation efforts, according to its Twitter feed. Meanwhile, private
American aid groups geared up to provide medicine and food, with World
Vision announcing a target of $3 million in donations from the United States
, and $20 million worldwide.
China has gradually increased its international humanitarian assistance
since early 2005, when a cargo plane loaded with medicine, food, electrical
generators and a 35-member Chinese medical team were dispatched to the
Indonesian province of Aceh after it was devastated in the Indian Ocean
tsunami.
It was the first visible effort by China at a foreign disaster scene, an
effort that, while small compared to other countries’, stood out for the
youthfulness of the doctors and their bright red medical tents.
Beijing’s initial $2.6 million response to the tsunami was criticized at
the time as inadequate. By contrast, Taiwan had offered $5 million.
Several days later, and just before Prime Minister Wen Jiabao was due to
leave for an international conference in Jakarta to coordinate aid for the
tsunami victims, China announced it had increased its assistance.
