在具体合作上,“一带一路”坚持政府主导、企业主体、市场运作,所有项目均经过认真的可行性研究和市场化论证,以确保应有的经济和社会效益。为“一带一路”提供重要融资支持的亚洲基础设施投资银行,有84个成员,完全是一个国际性的融资机构,采用国际通用的环境、社会和能源标准,不可能出现东道国债务负担过重,受中国操纵的现象。
第四,中国在“一带一路”建设中扮演什么样的角色?简单来说,中国是“一带一路”倡议的倡导者和推动者,也是平等的合作者。中国既不会利用这一倡议进行地缘战略扩张,也从未想过对“一带一路”合作大包大揽,而一直是对有关合作予以力所能及的帮助,并激发其他合作方的相应支持。
As for specific cooperation, Belt and Road adheres to a government-led, enterprise-operated, and market-based pattern. All projects have been examined by a feasibility study and market-based argumentation to ensure due economic and social benefits. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which consists of 84 members and provides important financing support for Belt and Road construction, is an international financial institution with international environment, social, and energy standards. It is impossible that borrowing countries are overburdened with debt and manipulated by China.
Fourth, what role does China play in Belt and Road construction? To put it simply, China is not only the initiator, but also an equal collaborator in the project. China will neither capitalize on the initiative to conduct the expansion of geographical strategies, nor think about taking full charge of the cooperation. Instead, China always provides assistance for related cooperation within its capacity, and encourages corresponding support from other sides.
2014年中方出资设立了丝路基金,截至2017年底,已签约17个项目,承诺投资70亿美元。亚洲基础设施投资银行至今批准了总额40多亿美元的20多个投资项目。迄今,中方已经同86个国家和组织签署了“一带一路”合作协议,在20多个国家建设75个境外经贸合作区,为有关国家创造大量税收和就业岗位。
加拿大是亚太地区重要国家,在交通、通讯、清洁能源、金融服务、人才培训等方面有自己的优势。加拿大已加入亚洲基础设施投资银行,这为加拿大参与“一带一路”基础设施建设提供了有利条件。中方欢迎加积极参与到“一带一路”建设进程中来。
China invested in and set up the Silk Road Fund in 2014. By the end of 2017, 17 projects in different countries had been signed with the promise of investing US$7-billion. At present, the AIIB has approved more than 20 investment projects with a total amount of more than US$4-billion. As of today, China has signed cooperation agreements on Belt and Road construction with 86 countries and organizations, and established 75 overseas economic and trade cooperation zones in more than 20 countries, creating large amounts of tax revenue and jobs for relevant countries.
As an important country in the Asia-Pacific region, Canada boasts its own advantages in such aspects as transportation, communication, clean energy, financial services, and personnel training. Canada has joined the AIIB, thus it could enjoy benefits by participating in Belt and Road construction. China welcomes Canada to play an active role in it.
