For those who sees everything China does in a negative light:

Philippine president thanks China for water project

Quote:
Manila (CNS) -- President Benigno Aquino III of the Philippines on Tuesday extended an olive branch to China for its financial and technical support of a water supply project in Angat.

The project will help facilitate the water supply to the Metro Manila region and benefit a population of 15 million.

It was constructed by the China International Water & Electric Corporation (CWE) under the Chinese government's preferential export buyer's credit.
Taiwan crew freed by Somali pirates aided by Chinese vessel

Quote:
The crew of a Taiwanese trawler held for nearly 19 months by Somali pirates have been taken to safety by a Chinese naval vessel.

Taiwan's foreign ministry said the crew of 26 were released after ransom talks.
Both are quite recent news.
