Why is the West sending aid to China?

Okay the earthquake in China is a disaster and everything should be done to help the people there. But why are Western Countries donating money?

We keep being told that China is the fastest growing economy in the World. They are now up amongst the richest countries. In order to acheive this they are completely ruining the economies of many countries in the West.

They are flooding the USA and Europe with fake goods, an industry their government turns a blind eye to. Because of the slave labour they employ in their sweat shops they are also able to manufacture goods far cheaper than we can in the West and our undermining our own manufacturing industries.

Why can't they use this wealth to fund the aid effort? Why should taxpayers in the West fund it?
