The truth is that the U.S. contributes the most to foreign aid funds, and still gets zero to little political good will.

It's the American way to destabilize a country than pay for aid.
No wonder it doesn't end up with net positive political good will.

A better statistic with which to make comparisons between nations is the % of GDP or budget of said nations devoted to aid. The US is first in the actual amount given, but our budgetary % is pretty low compared to other nations. Not to mention the aid figures given include military aid and similar that ends up coming back to US companies.

Wow! What a smackdown.
Burned.
Be like China. Make up your own statistics.
This is something I see frequently, but have been unable to substantiate.
How do we know they're making up statistics? Can you verify that claim with evidence? That would be very useful for me. If anyone can, i'd appreciate it.
You’re always best if you put your finger on the scale.
