This working paper examines the concerns
and the relationship between the People's Republic of
China (PRC) and the World Bank. By many measures, the
relationship developed over the past quarter-century has
been very successful. During this period, China has been the
World Bank's largest client, borrowing over $40 billion
for more than 280 investment projects. Its projects have the
highest success rate of any larger World Bank borrower. In
addition to the lending projects, the Bank has conducted a
wide range of studies, technical assistance (TA), and
training activities in China. The country's overall
success with reform, growth, and poverty reduction during
this time is well known. While China should be given full
credit for such positive developments, the Bank has been
recognized for playing an active supporting role alongside
the country. The Bank's four main contributions have
been to: (i) introduce relevant international practices and
experiences; (ii) make timely diagnostic studies of
China's challenges and recommendations to address them;
(iii) follow up with well-considered investment projects to
test innovative ideas; and (iv) implement appropriate
capacity building programs to turn some of the more
successful elements into replicable models.
