Abstract: This paper research the impact of China’s aid to Africa on the products export to China of recipient countries by decomposing the export growth into extensive and intensive margins. Studies have proved that China’s aid to Africa contributes to the growth of export to China of recipient countries, and the growth of export of products is reflected in the extensive margin. Next, we also use a series of robustness tests to prove the robustness of the researched results in this paper. At the same time, we use the interaction term of China’s fiscal expenditure data and the number of China’s aid to Africa as an instrumental variable to eliminate the potential endogenous problems. Finally, the results of mechanism test show that China’s aid to Africa will promote the growth of product export and the dual marginal growth of product export by improving the infrastructure of recipient countries and enhancing the industrialization level of recipient countries. In addition, China’s aid to Africa shows that China’s efforts to shoulder its role as a responsible power in building a community of a shared future for humanity and promoting development of all countries.
