对于所谓“债务陷阱论”，当事方最有发言权。事实是，很多参与并受益于“一带一路”倡议的沿线国家政府、企业和民众都已经站出来说话，用事实和数据公开辟谣。在“一带一路”合作框架下，无论是项目选择，还是投融资合作，都是各方共同商量并进行风险评估和投资可行性分析后，慎重作出的决策。包括中国在内的28个国家还共同制定了《“一带一路”融资指导原则》，强调在提供项目融资时需要确保债务的可持续性。对出现债务困难的合作伙伴，中方本着友好协商的原则妥善解决，从不催债逼债。到目前为止，没有一个国家因为参与共建“一带一路”而陷入债务危机，相反，很多国家通过参与“一带一路”合作走出了“不发展的陷阱”。
No one is in a better position to repudiate the so-called debt trap allegation than the BRI participants themselves. As a matter of fact, the governments, business communities and the general public of many countries that have participated in and benefited from the BRI have spoken up and debunked such groundless assertions with facts and figures. Decisions made under the BRI framework, whether project selection or investment and financing cooperation, are all based on full consultation among the parties and on the basis of conducting due risk assessment and investment feasibility study. China and other 27 countries have jointly adopted the Guiding Principles on Financing the Development of the Belt and Road, which highlights the need to ensure debt sustainability in project financing. In case our cooperation partners face difficulties in servicing debts, China will properly address this issue through friendly consultation, and will never press them for debt payment. As a matter of fact, no country has got trapped in a debt crisis since its participation in the BRI. Quite on the contrary, it is through participating in BRI cooperation that many countries have got out of the trap of "no development".
