所以,当拉丁美洲国家加入了“一带一路”倡议后,当地就开始进行关于拉丁美洲国家如何参与该倡议的讨论,拉丁美洲国家怎样更好地参与进来?我想再次强调一点,这并不是只与中国打交道,因为中国只是创造了一个平台,中国并不希望一家独大,将“一带一路”倡议占为己有。不,中国是想向世界提供一个合作平台。你想要加入,那非常棒。你不想加入,没问题,你有选择的自由。

What I am saying is that if you're part of BRI, you would have enjoyed a club that can invest together, can do trade together, can share different cultural elements together, can participate in discussion of the digital economy, digital transformation, societal transformations. So that's the important point.

我想说的是,如果你是“一带一路”倡议的成员,你就好像加入了一个俱乐部,大家一起投资,一起贸易,一起分享不同文化,一起参与数字经济、数字转型、社会转型的讨论。这点非常重要。

I've heard people say many times, if you're part of the BRI, China will invest in you, will buy from you. No, that's not the case. China never said that. What China always said is that we are creating, we are sharing a vision of the world of humankind where we want development and prosperity. BRI is a tool that can help us to achieve that. China never said that the only tool is our tool. There is no need for these adjectives in the discussion. What we have in the discussion is something that could help the world.

我多次听到别人说,如果你参与共建“一带一路”,那么中国就会向你投资、向你买东西。不,并非如此。中国从来没说过这样的话。中国一直说我们要创建人类命运共同体,共同发展,共同繁荣。“一带一路”倡议就是帮我们实现它的工具。中国从没说过我们的工具是唯一的工具。这些话从没出现在讨论中。我们在讨论一些对世界有益的事情。

中美两国不会脱钩

Q:In the context of globalization, what is your opinion about the so-called China-US decoupling?

在全球化背景下,您如何看待所谓的“中美脱钩”?

A:In my opinion, it's very, very hard to have a decoupling. When you are the first and second economies, there is no possibility of decoupling. Why? Because you are integrated, not fully, in some value chains, in some supply chains, you are completely integrated.
