　　至于你提到的具体问题，我目前不掌握有关情况。

A: During President Xi Jinping's meeting with the leaders of the Pacific island countries having diplomatic relations with China last week, they reached extensive agreements on strengthening cooperation in the fields of trade and investment, infrastructure building, and transportation and communications under the Belt and Road framework.

　　问：据报道，美国副总统彭斯在亚太经合组织工商领导人峰会上发表演讲，称美将为印太地区基础设施发展提供支持，承诺提供600亿美元基础设施融资，但不会提供附带限制条件的“带”和单向受惠的“路”。有媒体称美方上述表态含沙射影指责中国。中方对此有何评价？

Q: US Vice President Pence reportedly said in his address at the APEC CEO Summit that the US will offer support to the infrastructure development of the Indo-Pacific region and pledges to offer a 60 billion US dollars' worth of infrastructure funding which does not involve a constricting "belt" and a one-way "road". Reports say that this is veiled criticism against China. What is your comment?

A: We have noted these remarks by the US side. We will not try to find any correlation. But since the US side mentioned "belt" and "road", then I have to say a few points about ours.
