Is China a rogue donor, as some media pundits suggest? Or is China helping the developing world pave a pathway out of poverty, as the Chinese claim? In the last few years, China's aid program has leapt out of the shadows. Media reports about huge aid packages, support for pariah regimes, regiments of Chinese labor, and the ruthless exploitation of workers and natural resources in some of the poorest countries in the world sparked fierce debates. These debates, however, took place with very few hard facts. China's tradition of secrecy about its aid fueled rumors and speculation, making it difficult to gauge the risks and opportunities provided by China's growing embrace. This well-timed book, by one of the world's leading experts, provides the first comprehensive account of China's aid and economic cooperation overseas. Deborah Brautigam tackles the myths and realities, explaining what the Chinese are doing, how they do it, how much aid they give, and how it all fits into their "going global" strategy. Drawing on three decades of experience in China and Africa, and hundreds of interviews in Africa, China, Europe and the US, Brautigam shines new light on a topic of great interest. China has ended poverty for hundreds of millions of its own citizens. Will Chinese engagement benefit Africa? Using hard data and a series of vivid stories ranging across agriculture, industry, natural resources, and governance, Brautigam's fascinating book provides an answer. It is essential reading for anyone concerned with China's rise, and what it might mean for the challenge of ending poverty in Africa.

读后感

（1） 2012年7月，我平生第一次到了非洲。南非、坦桑尼亚、肯尼亚，再算上搭乘埃塞俄比亚航空经亚的斯亚贝巴返回北京，我接触了四个非洲国家。虽然近年来有关中非交往的新闻耳熟能详，但我仍然为中国人和中国力量在这四个国家的遍地开花而感到惊讶。 在南非，我们天天经过一个...

某些时候，“发展中国家”与“中庸”会联系在一起。中国，中庸，自古如此。 所谓的中庸，为不出头，不欺凌别人，与人互惠互利。近来中国周边的领土争端再次印证。历史上中国人即便在强势的时候，也不会去侵略和扩张。（元朝例外，不是汉族）不像日本和希特勒，狂热，疯狂，变态...

p120 IPRCC training program + 印象笔记

今天的中国也在用自己过去三十年的发展经验去engage非洲的发展。作者对中国在非洲的大多所作所为还是持同情和认可的态度的。非洲不可能靠中国走上发展的道路，就像他们也不可能靠西方一样。他们是不是发展得好，不应该是中国来回答的问题。我们所要做的，第一，强调互惠互利；第二，对于环保、劳工、腐败问题的底线要划得更清楚些；第三，与国际上公认的极权政府保持距离。

三星半。
