Lend-Lease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During World War 2, a total of $50.1 billion (equivalent to $656 billion today) worth of supplies (land-lease) were shipped, or 17% of the total war expenditures of the U.S, where $1.6 billion went to China.
Total USA assistance to WW2 China is $2 billion. That is around 2 billion taels of silver. (银两)
USA Boxer Revolution War Indemnity Remission is $22.8 million. That is around 30 million taels of silver. (银两)

Let us do some comparison. PRC always claim these indemnity is the culprit of China's backwardness.
1) Treaty of Shimonoseki 马关条约 indemnity 450 million taels of silver
2) Boxer Protocol 辛丑条约 indemnity 200 million taels of silver
But USA has given China 3 times the amount China being ask to pay to aggressor.
I am going to develop this topic further.
