China lashes out at US 'coercion' after Panama declines to renew infrastructure agreement

巴拿马拒绝续签基础设施协议后，中国抨击美国的“胁迫”行为

BEIG (AP) — China on Friday lashed out at what it called U.S. “coercion” after Panama declined to renew a key infrastructure agreement with Beiing following Washington’s threat to take back the Panama Canal.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a briefing that China “firmly opposes the U.S. smearing and undermining the Belt and Road cooperation through means of pressure and coercion.”

The Belt and Road Initiative is china’s signature foreign police drive to bind China closer to countries in the region and beyond by building roads, railways, airports, power plants and other infrastructure. The program has completed some major projects but also raised concerns about debt and environmental impact.

北京（美联社）——周五，在巴拿马在美国威胁收回巴拿马运河后，拒绝与中国续签一项关键基础设施协议，中国抨击美国的“胁迫”行为。

外交部发言人林剑在一场新闻发布会上表示，中国“坚决反对美国通过施压和胁迫手段抹黑和破坏‘一带一路’合作”。

“一带一路”倡议是中国标志性的外交政策举措，旨在通过修建公路、铁路、机场、发电厂及其他基础设施，加强中国与周边及其他地区国家的联系。该项目已完成一些重大工程，但也引发了对债务和环境影响的担忧。

Panama’s decision to walk away from it was seen as a concession to the U.S. over the canal after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Panamanian leader José Raúl Mulino on Sunday that Panama must immediately reduce what President Donald Trump says is Chinese influence over the canal area or face potential retaliation from the United States.

Mulino has rejected pressure from the new U.S. government to discuss ownership of a waterway that is vital to global trade.

Despite that, some believe Panama may be open to a compromise under which canal operations on both sides are taken away from the Hong Kong-based Hutchison Ports company, which was given a 25-year no-bid extension to run them. An audit into the suitability of that extension is already underway and could lead to a rebidding process.

巴拿马放弃该协议的决定，被视为在运河问题上对美国的让步。此前，美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥周日警告巴拿马领导人何塞·劳尔·穆利诺，巴拿马必须立即减少唐纳德·特朗普总统所称的中国在运河地区的影响力，否则将面临美国的潜在报复。

穆利诺拒绝了美国新政府就这条对全球贸易至关重要的水道所有权进行讨论的压力。

尽管如此，一些人认为巴拿马可能愿意做出妥协，即剥夺总部位于香港的和记港口集团对运河两岸运营的控制权，该集团此前获得了为期25年的无标底延期运营权。目前已对这一延期的合理性展开审计，可能会导致重新招标。

A drop in water levels in the canal due to drought has slowed transit through the canal, raising further complaints from Trump, although the delays appear to have nothing to do with China.

Lin said the Belt and Road Initiative has brought “active participation” from over 150 countries and that it has brought “fruitful results” to Panama and China, but gave no examples.

“We hope Panama will bear in mind the general picture of bilateral relationship and the long-term interests of both peoples, resist external interference, and make the right decision,” Lin said.

由于干旱导致运河水位下降，减缓了船只通过运河的速度，这进一步引发了特朗普的抱怨，尽管这些延误似乎与中国无关。

林剑称，“一带一路”倡议得到了150多个国家的积极参与，并为巴拿马和中国带来了“丰硕成果”，但未举例说明。

林剑表示：“我们希望巴拿马铭记双边关系的大局和两国人民的长远利益，抵制外部干涉，做出正确决策。”

以下是美国雅虎读者的评论：

China operates nearly 100 port facilities around the world. I was in Tanzania last month and saw Chinese ships unloading Chinese tractors, trucks, cars and road graders. They will operate on Chinese built roads and bridges. On the trip I was in 5 other countries and only saw some Ford small trucks in Thailand where Ford has a small assembly plant. The USA simply doesn't compete.

中国在全球运营着近100个港口设施。我上个月在坦桑尼亚，看到中国船只卸载中国的拖拉机、卡车、轿车和平地机。以后这些车辆会行驶在中国修建的道路和桥梁上。在这次行程中，我还去了其他5个国家，只在泰国看到了一些福特小卡车，福特在那里有个小型装配厂。美国根本竞争不过。

russel
We don’t compete because the government doesn’t own everything. The government is subsidizing all of that stuff. The china owns it all

我们竞争不过是因为政府并非掌控一切。中国补贴所有这些东西。中国啥都掌控着。

Tony
Wrong russell. Elon Musk owns 100% of the Tesla plant in China. Manufactured and sold 675,000 cars in China last year.

你错了，拉塞尔。埃隆·马斯克拥有特斯拉中国工厂100% 的所有权。去年在中国生产并销售了67.5万辆汽车。

David
now China is done stealing Tesla's IP and is funding the Chinese EV competition. It was just announced that Tesla sales are down over 11% and declining rapidly.

现在中国窃取特斯拉知识产权的事已得逞，还在资助中国电动汽车行业竞争。刚刚公布的数据显示特斯拉销量下降超过11%，且还在迅速下滑。

Marc
China doesn't need Tesla's anymore. They already bought their own, disassembled them and analyzed every inch so they can pirate the technology.

中国不再需要特斯拉了。他们已经购买特斯拉汽车，拆解并全方位分析，以便盗用技术。

ken
China is so far ahead of Tesla in EV's it's not even a contest. Where do you think Tesla gets most of it's battery technology? CATL group, that's who.
Why do you think the USA is so terrified of allowing Chinese EV's to compete on a level playing field?
American car makers have made and sold cars in China for decades. Not so much anymore, soon the Tesla plant will close due to slum sales.
And China will sell to the rest of the world, leaving the USA in the dust of yesteryear.
Trump's fear of China is palpable.

中国在电动汽车领域远远领先特斯拉，特斯拉都构不成竞争了。你觉得特斯拉的大部分电池技术从哪来？来自宁德时代。

为什么美国如此害怕让中国电动汽车在公平环境中竞争？美国汽车制造商几十年来一直在中国生产和销售汽车。但现在情况不同了，很快特斯拉工厂会因销量下滑而关闭。中国将向世界其他国家销售产品，把美国甩在身后。显然，特朗普对中国带有恐惧感

Kurtl
BYD is making EVs for the world. American car manufacturing is dramatically losing market share. Trump's policies are driving the nails into the American coffin.

比亚迪正在为全球制造电动汽车。美国汽车制造业正在大幅失去市场份额。特朗普的政策正在给美国棺材钉钉子。

Paula
So? The other countries let them in. Those countries make deals they think are in their best interests.
Oh, and the reason why China can come in and make these deals with these countries is because Trump and the GOP's intent on drying up foreign money is a thing.
Y'all act like the foreign money we give away doesn't have perks. And then you complain when countries, who want infrastructure, go to China.
What exactly do you want here? You complain about everything. If you want each country to "make it great again" then you should allow them to seek financial assistance elsewhere when you cut off the flow from the US.
Make up your minds.

那又怎样？其他国家让中国进入。那些国家达成他们认为符合自身最大利益的协议。中国能进入并与这些国家达成协议，是因为特朗普和共和党有意切断外国资金。你们好像觉得我们提供的资金没有附加条件似的。然后当那些想要基础设施的国家转向中国时，又开始抱怨。你们到底想要怎样？什么都抱怨。每个国家都可以“再次伟大”，当美国切断资金流时，就应该允许它们从其他地方寻求资金援助。拿定主意吧。

allen
And you still see Chinese illegal immigration in US. You don’t see that in China. So, either China is not a good country to live or they are playing a spying game.

在美国仍能看到中国非法移民，而在中国却看不到这种情况。所以要么中国不是个宜居国家，要么他们在玩间谍游戏。

michael
American goods are MUCH more expensive than Chinese goods.
THAT is why America CANNOT compete with China. The ONLY way to truly compete with them is to LOWER THE PRICE OF AMERICAN LABOUR.
Americans are going to have to accept lower wages AND a lower standard of living to compete.
ANYTHING less than that is just going to be window dressing.

美国商品比中国商品贵得多。这就是美国无法与中国竞争的原因。真正与中国竞争的唯一途径是降低美国劳动力价格。美国人要想竞争，就必须接受更低的工资和更低的生活水平。其他措施都只是表面功夫，都是浮云。

simon
These countries can buy 20 tractors for the price of 1 John Deere or 1 Caterpillar. Sure, they probably don't have all the bells and whistles of the American brands but they get the work done and that is what these countries need. At the transition from British dominance of the world (ie the Industrial age) to the American dominance, we used to be the scrappy country that made things to get things done. Not any more

这些国家用一台约翰迪尔或一台卡特彼勒拖拉机的价格能买到20台（其他品牌）。当然，它们可能没有美国品牌的各种花哨功能，但能完成工作，这就是这些国家所需要的。从英国主导世界（即工业时代）到美国主导的过渡时期，我们曾经也是那个为了完成任务制造产品的有闯劲的国家。但现在不一样了。

tony
One of the best selling tractors in the develo world has been the famous Blue Belarus tractor. It is sort of a Model A Ford in that it is simple, basic and nearly indestructable. A quick search will provide hundred of picture.

在发展中国家最畅销的拖拉机之一是著名的白俄罗斯蓝色拖拉机。它有点像福特A型车，简单、基础且几乎坚不可摧。随便一搜就能找到上百张图片。

james
We sell over 20 billion in tractors annually, China 2nd 5 Billion, Russia and India less.
I worked for a used Caterpillar tractor exporter in the 70s. Could not buy them fast enough for the market demand. Some well over a decade old.

我们每年拖拉机销售额超200亿美元，中国排第二，为50亿美元，俄罗斯和印度更少。我在70年代为一家二手卡特彼勒拖拉机出口商工作。当时市场需求旺盛，收购速度都跟不上。有些拖拉机都用了十多年了。

David
China appears to be better at capitalism than the United States.

中国似乎比美国更擅长资 本主义那一套。

Tony
I am only making observations based on my personal visits, discussions with locals in other countries, and what I read. In Belarus our driver/guide showed us how to get the toll reader needed to use the Chinese owned toll road. Then we discovered the "express service entrance" available for a small fee which coud be paid with an American credit card. That's globalism. Paying in Belarus with an American cc, to use a Chinese toll road. In China all the electric vehicles (lots of Teslas) have a special license tag and priveledges for parking and road use.

我只是基于个人的访问、与其他国家当地人的交流以及所读内容发表看法。在白俄罗斯，司机兼导游教我们如何获取使用中国的收费读卡器。

然后我们发现还有“快速服务入口”，支付少量费用就能使用，还能用美国信用卡支付。这就是全球化。

在白俄罗斯用美国信用卡付费，使用中国的收费公路。在中国，所有电动汽车（很多是特斯拉）都有特殊牌照，在停车和道路使用方面有特权。

jer
Did you think we were good at capitalism? No, America is greedy and we irrationally think we're better than everyone else.

难道你觉得我们擅长资 本主义吗？美国贪婪，而且不理性，自认为比别人都强。

Steven
doesn't compete with what? The US spends hundreds of billions with aid of many kinds throughout the world.

和什么竞争？美国在全球投入数千亿各种援助。

misty
They have been playing the long game while we are trying to back our way into that drilling hole. Trump should be in a cell playing checkers in a dark corner instead of playing the game with our nation’s future.

他们（中国）一直在下一盘大棋。特朗普应该被关在小黑屋里下跳棋，不能让他拿国家未来当儿戏。

jackson
And Trump is surrendering world dominace to the Chinese by removing our influence overseas.

特朗普通过削弱我们在海外的影响力，把世界主导权拱手让给中国。

Muldnoom
What china fails to disclose is that when they build infrastructure in another country they do it with loans with very high interest rates, locking the recipient country into a cycle of debt and poverty.
AMAZING HOW MANY CHINA LOVERS ARE REPLYING TO THIS COMMENT.

中国没有透露的是，他们在其他国家建设基础设施时提供的贷款利息极高，然后受援国陷入债务和贫困陷阱。居然有这么多“中国粉丝”回复这条评论，真是令人惊讶。

E
That isn't even the worst part. There's fine print on who can use the infrastructure. Also, china doesn't use local workers, they ship in chinese workers so locals get a road, but at a high, long-term interest rate and sees zero money from the building of the roads.
It is simply modern day imperialism.

这还不是最糟糕的。关于谁能使用这些基础设施还有细则规定。而且中国不用当地工人，而是从国内叫来工人，结果是当地人得到一条公路，但要背负高额长期利息，且修路过程中他们一分钱都赚不到。这简直就是现代帝国主义。

Paula
So? It's not like the other countries that sign the contract don't read said contracts. We are not the boss of how everyone else does business.
Besides, every penny of our aid to other countries comes with a cost. We expect those countries that accept our money to side with us in international disputes. You don't think that's worth something?

那又怎样？签合同的国家又不是不看合同。我们又不是别人的老板。而且，我们给其他国家的每一分援助都有代价。我们希望那些接受我们资金的国家在国际争端中站在我们这边。你觉得这没价值吗？

Indoor War
It's pretty rich for China to accuse others of trying to coerce nations to bend to their will. China flagrantly bullies their neighbors to acquiesce to their demands to allow them to build naval bases, ports, and cede control of waterways, even their own territorial coastlines

东大指责别人胁迫他国屈从自己的意志，这可真是厚颜无耻。东大公然欺负邻国，迫使他们默许东大的要求，允许建设海军基地、港口，并让出对水道甚至本国领海海岸线的控制权。

Larry
The Panamanian leader apparently has not read the fine print of the neurality agreement between the US and Panama when the US handed the Panama Canal to Panama. The fine print says the US has the right to revoke the Panama Canal agreement at anytime if Panama violates the neuratrality spirit of the agreement, which it did when it was making concessions with China. In plain english, the US still has the right to repossess the Panama Canal at anytime.

巴拿马领导人显然没读过美国将巴拿马运河移交给巴拿马时双方签订的中立协议细则。细则规定，如果巴拿马违反协议的中立精神，美国有权随时撤销巴拿马运河协议，而巴拿马在向中国做出让步时就违反了这一点。说白了，美国仍然有权随时收回巴拿马运河。

Brain
I feel no sense of enmity with China, still the like-minded republics and de ocracies all over the world need to unite in spirit and see that we are all under threat from , forces. Together we stand and divided we fall.

我对中国没有敌意，但全世界志同道合的国家仍需在精神上团结起来，认识到我们都受到了威胁。团结则存，分裂则亡。

The Canal has been outdated for decades. Too narrow for modern cargo ships. The U.S. would be wise to contract to build a new, much wider canal in Nicaragua. There are 6 proposed routes possible, all of them using lakes for part of the journey. The U.S. considered building a Nicaraguan canal as early as 1854. The Panama canal is burdened not only by being too narrow, but also by drought, dredging problems, and insect disease vectors. A Nicaraguan canal would solve all those with the possible exception of insects. Trump putting his eggs in the Panamanian basket is throwing good money after bad.

巴拿马运河几十年来一直跟不上时代需求了。对于现代货船来说，它太窄了。美国若能签约在尼加拉瓜修建一条更宽阔的新运河，将是明智之举。

目前有6条可能的规划路线，所有路线都有部分路段利用湖泊。早在1854年，美国就考虑过在尼加拉瓜修建运河。巴拿马运河不仅受限于狭窄，还面临干旱、疏浚难题以及虫媒疾病等问题。尼加拉瓜运河则能解决所有这些问题，唯一可能无法解决的或许只有虫害。特朗普把宝押在巴拿马运河上，纯粹是在浪费钱。

ken

The Chinese build infrastructure projects in poorer countries to get better trade deals. The Americans just say we are taking over everything unless you do as you are told. Welcome to de ocracy American style.

中国在较贫困国家开展基础设施建设项目，目的是达成更好的贸易合作。而美国人却只会宣称，除非你们言听计从。这就是所谓的美式皿煮，真是“大开眼界”。

L

Yes, the U.S. will replace China in hel Panama build roads and upgrade infrastructure when it can’t even do it at home. LOL. In the end a TOTAL LOSS for Panama. They only avoided an US INVASION that wasn’t suppose to happen in the first place.

没错，美国连自己国内的道路建设和基础设施升级都搞不好，却想着取代中国、帮助巴拿马搞这些。哈哈。最终巴拿马会全盘皆输。他们只是避免了一场本就不该发生的美国入侵而已。
