China has sharply commented on the US aid project MCC. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying questioned whether the MCC was a gift or Pandora's box.
The US embassy in Nepal described the $500 million MCC grant as a gift from the American people, she told a regular news conference at the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
She further said, "How can anyone accept such a gift? Is it a gift or Pandora's box?" She said that this MCC project is too good to be true, and may have future consequences.
"International development assistance should be based on the principles of mutual consent and equality, and respect the sovereignty of the country concerned and the will of its people," she said. "China is of the opinion that such assistance should not interfere in the internal affairs of the country concerned," Chunying said.
