China's GDP exceeds Japan's pretext according to Japanese media 2nd reported that the Japanese Foreign ministry officials said Maehara believes that O-da's aim is to support the development of developing countries, but now China's GDP than Japan, as the world's second, so "the same kind of aid is a little unreasonable."　　In addition, Maehara also worried about continuing to help the Congress "not to understand the people." Japanese analysts believe that Mr Maehara's move to please the national government budget for the fiscal year 2012 to seek support.　　However, some analysts believe that, although China's GDP is the world's second largest, but China's per capita GDP in the global 100, after the poor population of 150 million, so the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs "through aid to exert influence space."

Yongsheng that many people in China and Japan believe that Japan's aid to China is actually a disguised "war compensation", but in fact according to the relevant parties in the 80 's statistics, the direct economic loss of Japan's invasion of China as high as 600 billion U.S. dollars, the Japanese government for more than 30 years to China assistance of about 35 billion U.S. dollars　　The two cannot be equated. Yongsheng said that since the 21st century, Japan's aid to China has been a downward trend. Japan's cuts to China's aid will not adversely affect China-Japan relations, and Chinese people should rationally treat Japan's aid to China.
