Description
Analysis of China’s humanitarian activities is often critical of China’s perceived failure to adhere to established norms and practices within the humanitarian field. China is often depicted as inherently different from Western countries in its approach to humanitarian aid.
While there is some truth in this, it is crucial to understand not only how China approaches humanitarian action today, but also why it has adopted a distinctive path.
This event will launch "Responsibility, legitimacy, morality: Chinese humanitarianism in historical perspective" at an event hosted by Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, from 12-2pm GMT+8.
