On November 11 2013 there are stats which shows the amount of aid of each country has given to the Philippines for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. If we link the amount of GDP those countries has we will get this:

Source	Aid US $	GDP US $
United Nations	25 million	Not a country
United States	20 million	14 trillion
United Kingdom	16.1 million	2.1 trillion
United Arab Emirates	10 million	338 billion
Australia	9.5 million	1.5 trillion
Canada	4.8 million	1.7 trillion
European Union	4 million	16 trillion
Norway	3.4 million	485 billion
Denmark	3.1 million	332 billion
New Zealand	1.75 million	162 billion
Ireland	1.4 million	221 billion
Vatican	150,000	No GDP
China	100,000	7 trillion

It is curious to why China, being one of the strongest country in regards to GDP at 7 million, has provided 100,000 US dollars. Even the the Vatican being one smallest countries in existence has contributed 50,000 US dollars more than China. It may be possible that China may have some rancor with the Philippines due to the recent conflict on the Spratly Islands. However, countries such as the United Stats, having the highest GDP on the list, has contributed the most to the recuperation of the Philippines not only because of the alliance between the two countries but also because of the United State's past and present relations such as trade between the countries and the previous occupation in the Philippines.
