Posted in: Making sense of China's meager typhoon aid See in context
Actually, the per capita income of China (according to World Bank data), is 6000$ not 9000$. Also, China donated much more to Japan after the 2011 earthqake, even though I'd say Japan is the bigger rival and generally less depenend on donations.
However, what if the Chinese government pledged a higher donation? Wouldn't they be accused of exploiting the situation? Wheter they choose to donate much or (close to) nothing at all, they won't come out good; and the latter is clearly the cheaper option, even though it's the worst for the victims.
