“…Furthermore, donor countries' efforts to aid developing nations can also positively impact their image (An and Feng 2022;Liu 2022). Li (2021) concluded that Chinese aid to African countries will be more effective when the US does not provide concurrent aid. Therefore, political ideology also plays a crucial role in government policies (Wulansari 2021).…”

“…According to Knack (2013), a good aid management system has a positive relationship with donor reputation, system trust, and the emergence of strong public support in donor countries. While aid can have a positive impact on economic development in developing countries, it is important to consider the political interests of each donor (Gu et al 2022;Li 2021). Aid, on the other hand, is distributed based on the needs of recipient countries, donor interests (Hoeffler and Outram 2011), and altruism considerations (Berthélemy 2006).…”

The rising corruption levels in Indonesia are becoming a cause for concern and raise doubts about their impact on the stability of foreign aid in the country. Therefore, this study aims to predict the long-term viability of foreign aid in Indonesia based on international perceptions of corruption and corruption cases in the country. Data were obtained from World Governance Indicators, the Indonesian Ministry of Finance, and the World Bank, and the study used a backpropagation artificial neural network (ANN) for prediction. The results from ANN are compared to linear models and vector autoregression (VAR). The finding shows that ANN outperforms the other models based on the coefficient of determination and MSE values. Furthermore, it highlights the strong relationship between corruption perception and foreign aid sustainability with an R-value of 0.991. According to the ANN estimation, gratification has a significant impact on foreign aid. In response to this finding, the study recommends the Indonesian government take action to combat corruption in maintaining the international trust and ensuring the stability of foreign aid.

“…Some studies conclude that Chinese aid also reduces trust in government as citizens perceive such projects to increase the incentives for corruption among government officials (Atitianti, 2022). Other studies conclude that Chinese aid boosts economic growth in African countries (Li, 2021) and improves education and child mortality (Martorano et al, 2020). And while people living close to Chinese-supported infrastructure projects are generally supportive of a China model of development, those living close to resourcerelated projects in African countries are more critical of China as they fear land grabs and job threats (McCauley et al, 2022).…”

This study applies a time-varying parameter/stochastic volatility vector autoregression (TVP-SV-VAR) model to explore the time-varying property of the link between Sino-US political relations and trade. The results indicate that the association of these two variables appears to be unstable. Sino-US political relations have positive and negative impacts on their bilateral trade, and the impact on Chinese imports is stronger than on its exports. In turn, Chinese imports from the US lead to political conflict, while Chinese exports promote peace. The interaction mechanism may originate from the expectations of the future trade environment caused by trade policy uncertainty. The interactions between Sino-US political relations and bilateral trade at different time points are also investigated. The results demonstrate that the link between these two variables is slightly different, depending on the specific status of the bilateral political relationship (friendly, neutral or hostile). Both China and the US should seek common interests to maintain a stable political relationship, and even with an increasing volume of bilateral trade, the risk of political conflicts should not be neglected.
