China has decided todonate 500 million yuan ($82 million) to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea to battle Ebola, the deadly virus that has killed more than 4,800 people since its worst epidemic on record began earlier this year. China has sent hundreds of aid workers to Africa to help fight the Ebola outbreak and so far has contributed about $40 million in aid to fight the disease, including $6 million to the World Food Programme. China's corporations and billionaires have lagged behind in contributions to fighting the Ebola epidemic in West Africa despite vast economic ties to the region said the World Food Programme. Sihuan Pharmaceutical Holdings Group Ltd., a Chinese drug maker with military ties, has sent several thousand doses of an experimental Ebola drug to Africa and is planning clinical trials there.
