Abstract: Development assistance is now a prevalent tool for foreign policy. As one of the world's largest economies, China is also an active donor of foreign aid. The South Pacific region is one of China's foreign aid destinations. This study focuses on the motives behind China's provision of foreign aid to the South Pacific during the Xi Jinping administration from 2013 to 2021. It uses the theory of Aid Allocation motives to explore China’s politics, economics and humanitarian motives. The results of this study show that the strategic region of the South Pacific has prompted China to provide huge amounts of foreign aid.
