JICA has been involved in China since 1979, helping in the country’s rapid economic development and some of the problems associated with that growth such as regional economic disparities, growing environmental problems, the spread of infectious diseases and delays in the development of social and economic infrastructure.

The organization’s current activities emphasize three priority areas to help combat global problems such as environmental pollution and the rapid spread of diseases, sound governance measures as the country makes the transition to a market economy and promotion of mutual understanding.
