China: Development Aid
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much aid his Department has provided to China in the last five years.
Answered by Catherine West
Between 2019 and 2023, total Official Development Assistance (ODA) spend to China was £206.2 million, including on Chevening scholarships and British Council activity. In April 2021, the FCDO committed to cut ODA funded programmes in China by 95 per cent from the 2021-22 financial year. No funding goes to the Chinese authorities.
