China responded

"We oppose the banner of infrastructure construction, promote geopolitical calculations, and discredit words and deeds that slander the" Belt and Road "initiative."

Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on the 27th. A reporter asked questions that the leaders of the Seven -way Group Summit who were at the meeting said that they would raise $ 600 billion to provide financing for infrastructure construction in developing countries to fight against China's "Belt and Road" initiative. What is China's comment?

"I saw the relevant reports, and they also said that China's" Belt and Road "initiative caused a debt trap. The so -called 'Belt and Road' causes debt trap." It is a pseudo -proposition. "Zhao Lijian said.

The "Belt and Road" initiative adheres to the principles of discussion, co -construction, and sharing, and brings real interests to the people of relevant countries. According to the World Bank's calculation, if the traffic infrastructure projects under the "Belt and Road" framework are implemented, it will be expected to generate 1.6 trillion US dollars in the world by 2030 by 2030, accounting for 1.3%of the global GDP, of which 90%will be shared by partner countries sharing , Low -income and low -income countries have benefited more. From 2015 to 2030, 7.6 million people will get rid of extreme poverty and 32 million people get rid of moderate poverty. In fact, there is no saying that the "Belt and Road" partner country recognizes the so -called "Belt and Road" to cause debt trap ".

Zhao Lijian said that the United States is the true manufacturer of debt trap. The United States' expansion monetary policy, lack of regulatory financial innovation, and malicious short -term actions have exacerbated the debt burden of developing countries, and it is even more difficult to blame the land trap of relevant countries.

Zhao Lijian finally said that regarding the new initiative proposed by the Seven Kingdoms Group you mentioned, China always welcomes all initiatives to promote global infrastructure construction. We believe that related initiatives do not have the problem of mutual replacement, but we oppose the banner of infrastructure construction, promote geopolitical calculations, and discredit the words and deeds of the "Belt and Road" initiative. I also noticed that a year ago, at the Summit of the Seventh National Group, the United States proposed the "rebuilding a better world" initiative and promised to promote the global infrastructure initiative that is different from the "Belt and Road". Whether it is the "rebuilding a better world" initiative or any other initiative, what the international community hopes to see is real gold and silver and the project that really benefits the people.
