中国：援助计划不干涉他国内政
China's foreign aid programs must not interfere in domestic affairs of countries it donates to, according to new rules from the Ministry of Commerce released on Monday.
中国商务部周一发布新规称，中国坚决不干预援助对象国家的内政。
The regulations underscore the no-strings-attached philosophy underpinning China's growing foreign aid programs, particularly in African states, which stands in contrast to the approach of the West.
新规强调了中国对外援助项目是不求回报的，尤其是对非洲国家的援助。这点与西方国家的做法截然不同。
Critics have said China's aid program lacks transparency and turns a blind eye to conflicts and human rights abuses. China's close links with oil-rich African states, including Sudan and Angola, have fueled criticism as well that Beijing only cultivates relations to secure access to energy and raw materials to power its surging economy.
舆论认为中国的援助计划缺乏透明，对战争冲突和人权问题视而不见。中国与苏丹和安哥拉等石油资源丰富的非洲国家联系紧密，并且只为了保障能源、原料安全而发展关系的做法遭到了舆论的批评。
China said in July that more than half its foreign aid of over $14 billion went to Africa.
七月份，据中国披露，其超过一半的对外援助项目都是针对非洲国家。
China's aid programs must respect the sovereignty of the recipient country, the regulations said, even as they work to alleviate poverty, promote economic growth and develop diplomatic ties.
规定称，在减轻贫困、刺激经济、发展外交的同时，中国的援助计划也尊重受助国，不干涉受助国的内政。
China has also worked to use its growing military muscle for humanitarian causes as it works to win over international support, dispatching an elite People's Liberation Army team to West Africa to aid in the fight against the Ebola virus.
出于人道主义考虑，同时也为了获取国际社会支持，中国派遣解放军精锐部队援助非洲抗击埃博拉病毒。
The rules also call for punishing fraud, bribery and other improper uses of aid funds, and for aid workers to avoid engaging in outside businesses.
规定还称将严惩利用救助资金进行欺骗、行贿、私自交易等不正当行为。
China's trade with Africa ballooned to $170 billion in 2013 from $10 billion in 2000.
中国与非洲的贸易额从2000年的100亿美元不断上升，到2013年达到了1700亿美元。
