Got it.
No, I don't think the Chinese government does much out of the generosity of their good hearts. They are trying desperately to become a developed nation though, which means relying pretty heavily on western countries for things like trade. So whatever their ultimate goals may be, my personal guess is that things like this fit into the "prove to the West that we are good people so that they will help us" category.
