Abstract:Since 1988, China and Japan have been the two countries which provided the most official supports to Myanmar, which is significant in promoting the economic and social development in Myanmar. Nevertheless, there are obvious differences in concepts of aid, forms of aid and fields of aid between China and Japan. In terms of concepts, China emphasizes on the of non-interference principle in internal affairs, while Japan insists on the principle that aid is connected with politics. In fields of aid, China focuses on large-scale infrastructure reconstruction, while Japan focuses on assistance to improve people's livelihood. As for forms of aid, China and Japan have little difference. China tends to provide supports on the governmental level and complete the supports mainly through enterprises, paying little attention to publicity; While Japan tends to offer governmental assistance to private sectors and meet their goals mainly through NGOs, paying much attention to publicity. By contrast, we find China and Japan both attach great importance to assistance to Burma and their assistance have their own characteristics. However, Findings from data analysis show that Japan’s aid generally has better effect on Burma than that of China. Therefore, in addition to maintaining our own advantages, China should also draw on Japan's experience, focusing on improving aid mechanism, shifting priority, enriching aid patterns, and making more publicity efforts to improve effect of our aid to Myanmar.
