Some people simply do not get it - giving aid to China

Unreal - from the London Daily Mail:

What planet are we on? Britain gives £71m to China in aid - even though they’re on the warpath over Huawei... and yesterday blasted a rocket to Mars. But now, if you can stomach it, read where those tax millions are going
You could be forgiven for thinking that given China’s GDP is almost five times greater than the UK’s, they should be sending us aid.

And yet in 2018, almost £100million was carved out to finance the Department for International Trade’s China Prosperity Fund over four years.

Despite China being a financial superpower, the fund is designed ‘to address market failures and weaknesses that impede China’s inclusive economic growth and will help China’s ongoing transition to an inclusive, sustainable and productive economy’.

So far, £6million has been spent. After the devastation wreaked by the Covid19 pandemic on the UK economy, that money will be sorely missed.

One such example:

Between April 2018 and April 2019, £559,554 of taxpayers’ money was spent on ‘supporting human rights, democracy and the rules-based international system in China’.

Yet shortly after it received the money, China imposed an unprecedented security law on Hong Kong which has undermined its citizens’ democratic rights to protest and free speech.

Meanwhile, footage on the BBC at the weekend appeared to confirm that the Chinese government has built concentration campstyle institutions to imprison its Uighur Muslim population.

Much more at the site. Cut this off now before any more money is wasted. Is there anything like this happening in the United States? How much is the United Nations giving to China? Follow the money.
