ABSTRACT
Over the past 30 years, China's foreign aid has not only assisted African countries in developing local resources, promoted economic growth, and improved the local people's living standards, but also harvested valuable energy resources, assumed a big market share, and sustained trade contracts, meeting the internal demands for fast marketization and internationalization. There has been growing discussion in recent years over China's provision of international public goods, reflecting the enhanced awareness of being a responsible big power in China. This chapter draws some insights from the aforementioned concepts and theories of public goods: public goods cannot be narrowly understood as merely funds, goods, infrastructure, and the like, but they can be special supply of labor, personnel, and professional skills training. Developing regional and international rules and regulations and making them universal and widely recognized belongs to the higher level of international public goods supply.
