Aid and comfort
Loosely related to this post, for interest's sake, here are seven of the G8 countries and the net official development assistance (ODA) they provided to China in 2003. Russia is excluded because it isn't a donor nation. (If anyone can explain that Italian figure to me, or why these OECD figures for ODA bear absolutely no resemblance to those of CIDA and the UK's DFID, for instance (they seem to be vastly lower across the board), I'm all ears.)
| Country | Net ODA (USD millions) | Per capita | ppm of GDP |
| Canada | $28.44 | $0.90 | 33.2 |
| France | $74.29 | $1.24 | 41.3 |
| Germany | $152.18 | $1.84 | 63.41 |
| Italy | ($19.57) | ($0.34) | N/A |
| Japan | $759.72 | $5.95 | 176.68 |
| UK | $47.39 | $0.80 | 26.3 |
| USA | $25.63 | $0.09 | 2.35 |
