Abstract
Foreign aid is part of China’s diplomatic policy. Since the late 1950s, China has donated around 1500 buildings in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania. This article reviews China’s construction aid works during three historic periods: Mao’s era in the 1950s to 1970s; Post-Mao era in the 1980s and 1990s; and the 21st century. The exported architectural projects – profoundly marked by the state’s intervention – demonstrated what we term a ‘transformational modernism’ that was both a product of social transformation in China and a positive engagement with the recipient nations’ local conditions.
