希腊前财长的这段视频火了:“中国可比美国人道多了……”

双语君 中国日报双语新闻 2021-04-20

近日,希腊前财长亚尼斯·瓦鲁法基斯(Yanis Varoufakis)一段关于中国的言论在社交媒体上热传。网友纷纷表示,他太了解中国了。



2018年,他在美国做讲座时,有观众表示对中国在非洲的投资感到担忧,瓦鲁法基斯反问道,“这有什么问题?”


他说, 中国在非洲的投资建设可远比100年前美国的殖民行为要人道多了(They're far more humanistic than the United States ever was.)。


"They are non-interventionists, absolutely non-interventionists in a way that Europeans, the West has never managed to fathom."

中国不干涉他国内政。这种不干涉他国内政的做法欧洲及西方国家是无法理解的。



他告诉在场的美国观众,中国没有像过去100年来西方国家那样,带着军队进入非洲,殖民毁灭国家、屠杀人民(Instead of going into Africa with troops, colonially destroying the country, killing people like the West has done for the last hundred years),他们没有任何军事野心。



中国做的是帮助非洲国家搞建设,不求回报,而这也是一种软实力(soft power)的体现。


2017年,他参加报业辛迪加的讨论时也称,中国不是带着投机的目的来掠夺资源的,他们来投资讲究的是打基础,并着眼于未来的二三十年。


They don’t come in to grab an asset for speculative purposes. They come in in order to create a base, on which to build and build. And their horizon is 20-30 years.


他还表示,中国在希腊所做的是欧洲各国没能做到的,即带着本国工人和工程师来踏踏实实做事。


What Europe has not done with Greece is to do what the Chinese were prepared to do – to come there with their workers, with their engineers, and actually do some serious work.
