China has provided $1.34 trillion in grants and loans to 165 low-income and middle-income Countries between 2000 and 2021, according to a study by AidData. Russia, with almost $170 billion in development loans, is the top recipient, followed by Venezuela with $113 billion and Pakistan with over $70 billion.
