Johns Hopkins University issued the following announcement on June 27.
Bill Gates hopes that one day, countries will compete to be the most generous.
For example, when he looks at China's investments in health and development projects in parts of Africa, he doesn't just see a global adversary with whom the U.S. is teetering on the edge of a trade war—he sees a country providing support where it's needed most, he said during a talk Wednesday at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studiesin Washington, D.C.
Years ago, Gates said, China's economy wouldn't have sustained such economic investment in other countries. Now it's a major player on the international stage.
"Hopefully the U.S. will be more generous as China has become more generous," he said. "I hope countries will compete in generosity when it comes to the developing world."
