BEIJING, Nov. 13 -- China is offering aid in the form of tents and blankets to the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said here on Wednesday.

China will closely follow developments of its neighbor and offer humanitarian aid within its capacity, Qin Gang told a daily news briefing.
