'This book is well-written and worth reading by scholars, policy makers, and practitioners of development cooperation as it articulates a new and important aspect of development cooperation, the Chinese involvement. The influence of Chinese development cooperation might open up new opportunities for developing countries where traditional development cooperation has not succeeded.'
