Building a reputation as a responsible and generous donor has earned it prestige, especially in contrast to the role of foreign aid in China's policies, such as the [[Belt and Road Initiative]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Atkinson|first=Joel|date=2014-05-27|title=Aid in Taiwan's foreign policy: putting Ma Ying-jeou's aid reforms in historical perspective|journal=The Pacific Review|language=en|volume=27|issue=3|pages=409–431|doi=10.1080/09512748.2014.909524|s2cid=153611281|issn=0951-2748}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Atkinson|first=Joel|date=May 2018|title=The real East Asian Aid model: Development assistance as an instrument of comprehensive security in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan|journal=Development Policy Review|language=en|volume=36|issue=3|pages=265–284|doi=10.1111/dpr.12283|s2cid=157964933}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Tubilewicz|first1=Czeslaw|last2=Guilloux|first2=Alain|date=June 2011|title=Does size matter?
