赵立坚中国和柬埔寨作为铁杆朋友，一直有着相互支持、相互帮助的传统。西哈莫尼国王和莫尼列太后多次在中国遭遇自然灾害时慷慨相助。此次他们再次支持中方抗击洪涝灾害，这体现了柬埔寨王室对中国人民的深情厚谊，也是中柬命运共同体精神的生动写照。中方对此表示高度赞赏和衷心感谢。

Zhao Lijian China and Cambodia enjoy an iron-clad friendship and a long tradition of mutual support and assistance. King Norodom Sihamoni and Queen Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk provided generous assistance quite a few times when China was previously hit by natural disasters. Their latest kind gesture in the wake of the flooding in China signifies the deep friendship between the Cambodian royal family and the Chinese people as well as the spirit of the China-Cambodia community with a shared future. We highly appreciate this and would like to extend our heartfelt thanks. 

赵立坚我看到了有关报道。他们还说中国的“一带一路”造成了“债务陷阱”。所谓“一带一路”造成“债务陷阱”完全是个伪命题。“一带一路”倡议提出9年来，始终秉持共商共建共享原则，为有关国家人民带来了实实在在的利益。据世界银行测算，“一带一路”框架下的交通基础设施项目若全部得以实施，到2030年，每年将有望为全球产生1.6万亿美元收益，占全球GDP1.3%，其中90%由伙伴国分享，低收入和中低收入国家受益更多。2015至2030年间，760万人将因此摆脱极端贫困，3200万人摆脱中度贫困。事实上，没有任何一个“一带一路”合作伙伴国家认可所谓“一带一路”造成“债务陷阱”的说法。事实上，美国才是“债务陷阱”的真正制造者，美国扩张性货币政策、缺乏监管的金融创新、恶意做空等行径，加剧发展中国家债务负担，对有关国家落入“债务陷阱”更是难辞其咎。

Zhao Lijian I noticed relevant reports. They said China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has led to debt trap. To call the BRI a debt trap is a false narrative. For nine years since its inception, the BRI has followed the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits and delivered tangible benefits to partner countries and their peoples. According to World Bank forecast, if all BRI transport infrastructure projects are carried out, by 2030, the BRI will generate $1.6 trillion of revenues for the world each year, or 1.3% of global GDP. Up to 90% of the revenues will go to partner countries, and upper-middle- and low-income corridor economies are expected to benefit the most. The BRI could contribute to lifting 7.6 million people from extreme poverty and 32 million from moderate poverty from 2015 to 2030. In fact, no BRI partner has agreed to the so-called “debt trap” accusation. Rather, it is the US that should be held responsible for creating the “debt trap”. The US’s expansionary monetary policies, financial innovation with lax supervision and ill-intended short-selling are weighing down developing countries with debt burden and the very reason some countries have fallen into debt trap.

我也注意到，一年前，同样是在七国集团峰会上，美方提出“重建更好世界”（B3W）倡议，承诺推进有别于“一带一路”的全球基础设施建设。不论是“重建更好世界”倡议，还是别的什么倡议，国际社会希望看到的是真金白银和实实在在造福于民的项目。

I also noticed that a year ago, it was also at a G7 Summit that the US put forward the B3W Initiative. The US committed then to developing global infrastructure in a different way from the BRI. Whether it is B3W or any other initiative, the world wants to see real investment and projects that will truly deliver for the people.

赵立坚我们已经就此发布消息。具体问题请向主管部门询问。

Zhao Lijian We have put out the press release. Please refer to the competent authorities if you want to know more details. 

赵立坚据我所知，有关报道严重偏离事实。

Zhao Lijian As I understand, these reports couldn’t be further from the truth.
