Topic: Rethinking Beijing's"humanitarian aid" diplomacy during COVID-19's first wave: insights from a novel dataset
Based on a novel dataset covering 2224 donations to 176 countries between February 2020 and October 2021, this talk examines the gap between Beijing's global "humanitarian aid" campaign towards a historically unprecedented number of recipient countries, and its messaging activities that sought to both politicise and depoliticise its"humanitarian aid" in the pursuit of national interests and foreign policy objectives that have diverted attention from the international principles of humanitarian aid that seek to maintain a focus on responding most effectively to the humanitarian needs of recipient societies, notably through multilateral cooperation and transparency.
