SUMMARY 
------- 
 
1. (SBU) In a possible indication of greater openness to talking 
about development finance, officials from China's foreign aid 
bureaucracy told a visiting Treasury official that they look forward 
to more exchanges on the topic.  Long reluctant to discuss foreign 
aid-related issues (see reftels), the Chinese officials appeared to 
welcome incorporating development finance into the Strategic 
Economic Dialogue (SED) in the future.  Our interlocutors, as well 
as representatives of international aid organizations, said China's 
foreign aid bureaucracy remains uncoordinated and lacks a long-term 
development assistance strategy.  Institutions such as the China 
Development Bank (CDB), however, are aggressively supporting Chinese 
commercial objectives overseas.  END SUMMARY. 
 
MOVING TOWARDS A DIALOGUE ON DEVELOPMENT FINANCE 
--------------------------------------------- --- 
 
2. (SBU) Kenneth Peel, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Treasury for 
International Development Finance and Debt, encouraged Chinese 
government officials to engage in a long-term constructive dialogue 
with the United States on development finance under the SED and 
heard views from the Beijing-based international donor community 
during his May 8-9, 2007, visit.  Wang Shichun, Director General of 
the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) Department of Aid to Foreign 
Countries said he would welcome an exchange of ideas on the issue. 
(Note:  MOFCOM's Department of Aid to Foreign Countries has 
routinely refused Embassy requests for meetings for the past two 
years (reftels).  The May 9 meeting, facilitated by the Ministry of 
Finance as part of the SED process, was the first time we have met 
Wang.  End Note.) 
 
CHINA'S AID INCREASING RAPIDLY 
------------------------------ 
 
3. (SBU) International observers agreed that China's aid overseas -- 
supported by commercial outreach -- is increasingly rapidly. 
Examples include: 
 
--The China Development Bank (CDB) and China's Export-Import (EXIM) 
Bank have a combined larger investment in the Philippines than ADB 
and the World Bank put together; 
 
--China's USD 610 million aid package to Cambodia is greater than 
the UK's aid program of USD 600 million; 
 
China's aid is politically driven but also focused on resource 
acquisition, infrastructure, and export promotion, observers added. 
 
 
PROVIDING ASSISTANCE WITHIN CHINA'S CAPACITY 
-------------------------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) According to MOFCOM's Wang, China's foreign aid objective 
is to promote peaceful development and support the Millennium 
Development Goals (MDGs).  Assistance should be tangible, including 
projects in infrastructure, education, and health and should teach 
skills rather than simply giving away money, he said.  Wang said he 
just returned from Africa where China promised during last year's 
China-Africa Forum (FOCAC) to commit an additional USD 5 billion in 
aid by 2009.  Wang, however, also reiterated that China remains a 
low-income country and will therefore provide aid only within its 
own capacity. 
 
AID LACKS STRATEGY, BUSINESS MORE IMPORTANT 
------------------------------------------- 
 
 
BEIJING 00003587  002 OF 002 
 
 
5. (SBU) China's foreign aid apparatus still lacks coordination 
within the bureaucracy, and MOFCOM has not yet developed a foreign 
aid strategy, international observers said.  According to the Head 
of the UK's Department for International Development (DFID) in 
China, FOCAC exposed the weaknesses in China's development 
assistance bureaucracy, as government agencies were caught off-guard 
by the large-scale financial commitment made by President Hu Jintao 
during the Summit, and the Chinese Government is now struggling with 
how to deliver on that promise.  Representatives from DFID and the 
Asian Development Bank (ADB) emphasized, however, that while China's 
foreign aid bureaucracy remains underdeveloped, the government 
continues to aggressively promote commerce overseas.  China-Africa 
two-way trade has increased from USD 9 billion in 2001 to USD 56 
billion last year, one observer said, and another pointed out that 
China EXIM and CDB both exercise considerable influence. 
 
CDB REACHING OUT OVERSEAS 
------------------------- 
 
6. (SBU) Speaking for CDB, Wang Weidong, Deputy Director General of 
the CDB's International Finance Department, said most of CDB's loans 
support infrastructure and construction projects domestically, but 
in an effort to both mitigate risk and expand its cooperation with 
large Chinese companies (such as Sinopec and CITIC), CDB now also 
supports overseas projects, particularly in Latin America and Asia. 
Approximately 10 percent of CDB's total assets are invested overseas 
at roughly USD 30 billion. 
 
7. (SBU) The delegation cleared this cable.
