◆中方特别重视项目债务的可持续性问题，早在2017年就与26个“一带一路”国家签署了《“一带一路”融资指导原则》。2019年，中国发布《“一带一路”债务可持续性分析框架》，立足债务国的负债情况和偿还能力，坚持平等协商、依法依规、公开透明，加大对项目经济、社会、民生效益的监督评估，引导主权债流向高效领域，确保项目的长远收益。同时，中国还积极主动为债务国“减负”。
◆ China attaches high importance to the debt sustainability of projects. Back in 2017, it signed the Guiding Principles on Financing the Development of the Belt and Road with 26 countries participating in the BRI. In 2019, China released the Debt Sustainability Framework for Participating Countries of the Belt and Road Initiative. Based on the debt situation and repayment ability of debtor countries, and following the principles of equal-footed consultation, compliance with laws and regulations, openness and transparency, the framework aims to strengthen monitoring and assessment of the economic, social and livelihood benefits of the projects, and channels sovereign loans into areas with high yields, with a view to ensuring the long-term returns of the projects. China has also made proactive efforts to lessen the burden of debtor countries.

斯里兰卡国家教育委员会顾问海蒂格教授接受《环球时报》采访时表示：“中国提供的贷款都是根据斯政府的需求，用于改善我们的基础设施，这些贷款给我们的经济民生带来极大改变，并不存在所谓的‘债务陷阱’。而且中国贷款只约占斯全部债务的10%，有些媒体显然选择性无视这一点。”“西方媒体会炒作 ‘中国债务陷阱’乍一听似乎有点道理，但实际上是故意隐藏了基础建设完善所带来的经济发展、就业岗位、招商引资等巨大的经济价值。”
Professor Samita Hattige, adviser to the National Education Commission of Sri Lanka, said in an interview with Global Times that Chinese loans are based on the needs of the Sri Lankan government and for the purpose of improving Sri Lankan infrastructure. The loans have brought major changes to Sri Lanka’s economy and people’s livelihood, and there is no such thing as a “debt trap”. China’s share in Sri Lanka’s external debt is around a mere 10 percent. Apparently, some media have chosen to ignore this fact. While the “Chinese debt trap” hyped up by Western media seems apprehensible at a glance, it has deliberately evaded the huge economic values that infrastructure improvement has created, such as economic development and more jobs and investment.

The article “Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal Need China for Development” published by Sri Lanka’s Daily News on 17 January 2022 says, “South Asia needs China in its development process because China is synonymous with the term ‘Development’. China’s ... Belt and Road Initiative provides benefits for almost all South Asian countries.” “In the case of Sri Lanka,” the article writes, “Sri Lanka is a beneficiary of Chinese projects. Many say only about the Chinese debt trap in this regard but no one mentions Chinese developmental activities in Sri Lanka.” “They have invested heavily in seaports, airports, ... national highways, and power distribution centers. ”
