Addressing African leaders in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping said the new package would include 15 billion dollars in aid along with interest-free and concessional loans and special funds for China-Africa Development, and he pushed back on accusations 1 that China was engaging in deathtrap diplomacy 2.
在北京向非洲领导人致辞期间，中国国家主席习近平表示，新的一揽子计划将含150亿美元的援助金，以及免息优惠贷款、中非发展专项基金。同时，习主席也否认了外界的一些谴责之声，这些声音说中国的外交是死亡陷阱式的。
Government debt from China’s interest-free loans due by the end of 2018 will be written off for indebted poor African countries as well as for developing nations and the continents interior in small island nations. He says his country is determined 3 to not impose its will nor interfere 4 in Africa’s internal affairs or attach any political strings 5 when offering support to the continent.
中国将于2018年底到期的免息贷款也会一笔勾销，帮负债累累的贫穷非洲国家、发展中国家、一些内陆小岛国免去这笔债务。习主席表示，中国决心不将自己的意志强加于他国，不会干涉非洲内政，亦不会在向其他国家提供援助时附加政治条件。
China will also expand its imports from Africa, especially for non-resources products, and will facilitate African financial institutions bond issuance in China. The package is in addition to an earlier pledge of 60 billion dollars to Chinese president announced at a previous Sino-Africa summit in 2015. Speaking at the Forum 6 on China Africa cooperation, South African president Cyril Ramaphosa says the focus is on making tangible 7 improvements to the quality of life for Africans.
中国还将加大从非洲的进口量，尤其是非资源类产品的进口量。同时，也将促进非洲金融机构在中国发行债券。此次一揽子计划之前，中国国家主席习近平还曾承诺过600亿美元的资金，这个承诺是在2015年的中非首脑会议上宣布的。在中非合作论坛上发表讲话时，南非总统西里尔 拉马福萨(Cyril Ramaphosa)表示，重点是要实打实地提高非洲人民的生活质量。
In the values that it promotes, in the manner that it operates, and in the impact that it has on African countries, Falk refutes the view that a new colonialism is taking hold in Africa as our detractors would have us believe. China has loaned about 140 billion dollars to African countries between 2000 in 2017, according to data from Washington’s Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.
根据中国所倡导的价值观、中国的一言一行以及中国对非洲国家的影响，福尔克否认了这样一种观点，即一种新型殖民主义正在非洲生根发芽，这种观点是批评我们的人希望我们相信的。中国已经在2000-2017年间向非洲国家提供了进1400亿美元的贷款，这是华盛顿约翰霍普金斯大学高级国际研究学院的数据。
