碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 國際研究英語碩士學位學程(IMPIS) === 107 === This paper aims to identify if Chinese Humanitarian aid to the Philippines is selfish or selfless by examining if Chinese humanitarian assistance allocation to the Philippines from 2000 to 2018 is dependent to 1.) Philippine’s Foreign Policy to China; Chinese Foreign Policy to the Philippines; 2.) Philippines’ domestic perception to China; 3.) Chinese domestic perception of the Philippines and 4.) Severity of disaster. I argue that Chinese humanitarian aid to the Philippines during this period is selfless because politics does not significantly affect Chinese humanitarian aid allocation to the Philippines. The case studies of Chinese humanitarian aid donation are under the Arroyo, Aquino and Duterte administration which had varying foreign policies to China support my argument.
