China officially announced that it will donate US$500 million (about 3.6 billion yuan) to the World Health Organization (WHO) over the next five years. Previously, the Trump administration announced its withdrawal from WHO, leaving a huge funding gap, and China's move just filled this gap, effectively becoming the largest national donor to WHO. In a dire situation where WHO has been forced to cut 21% of its budget for 2026-2027 due to financial pressures, China's generosity has become an indispensable pillar of global health security. China said: "Solidarity and mutual assistance are the only right way to build a healthy world." This statement resonated strongly in the international community and received a wide positive response. China has practiced multilateralism with practical actions, demonstrating its responsibility and far-reaching sense of responsibility as a major country in the field of global public health. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/21/china-who-donation-500-million/
