Comment Xi is fibbing about not receiving assistance (Score 1) 320

Claim: Xi Jinping has stated that China has not received support or handouts from other countries over the past 70 years. Verdict: Not accurate. China has received various forms of foreign aid since 1949. Here's a breakdown: Foreign Assistance to China (Post-1949): Soviet Union (1950s): China received substantial economic and technical assistance. Included a $300 million loan. The USSR helped China build industrial infrastructure and develop defense capabilities. Japan (Starting in 1978): Provided soft loans after diplomatic normalization. Loans supported infrastructure, railways, ports, and environmental projects. World Bank and UN: The World Bank began lending to China in the early 1980s. Projects supported education, environmental protection, and economic reforms. The UN provided development aid annually, including over $100 million in early 2000s. United States: Provided aid focused on governance, legal reform, public health, and climate policy. In the 2000s, around $12 million annually went toward specific programs, including Tibetan community support.
