Similarly, China’s miserly initial offer of $100,000 in aid following the recent typhoon in the Philippines demonstrates how far the country is from being a mature member of the international community. As a Chinese official admitted at a recent seminar in Seoul, concepts like “regional order” have never been a part of the country’s political vocabulary.
类似的还体现在最近菲律宾台风的援助工作中，中国最初仅仅吝啬地提出10万美元的援助金额，显示该国距离一个成熟的国际社会成员尚有一段距离。而正如一个中国官员在最近首尔举行的一次研讨会上承认的那样，像“区域秩序”这样的概念从未被列入该国政治词汇之中。
