To Antigua and Barbuda, China and the United States could both be partners<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The recent article by Sir Ronald Sanders titled \u201cFor the Caribbean, relations with the US and China is not one or the other\u201d is indeed thought provoking.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In general, I agree with Ambassador Sanders. It needs to be emphasized that China\u2019s cooperation with Antigua and Barbuda is in no way meant to force Antigua and Barbuda to take sides between China and the US, because the one-or-the-other scenario does not serve the national interests of Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, China and the United States could both be cooperative partners of Antigua and Barbuda. Never has China tried to sell its social system and development path to the Antiguan and Barbudan friends, nor drive a wedge between Antigua and Barbuda and the United States.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Caribbean region is not a battleground where major countries form small circles pitted against one another.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The relationship between China and the United States in this region is not meant to be one of rivalry or even confrontation. Caribbean countries should be able to be friends with the United States and at the same time form partnerships with China.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

China respects the traditional influence and real interests of the US in this region. Likewise, we expect that the US also respects China\u2019s position and role. Ambassador Sanders seems to have expressed dissatisfaction with the limited assistance by the United States to the Caribbean and also mentioned that the United States \u201cpoaches Caribbean doctors, nurses and teachers\u201d and takes \u201cone-sided strategies that are long on words, but short on allocation and delivery of funds to the region\u201d. I forbear comment on that. Nonetheless, one point I fully agree with Ambassador Sanders on, is that the Caribbean should never become an appendage to Latin America. Just like the Caribbean is in the neighborhood of the US, China also has its own neighbors. China\u2019s neighborhood policy is based on the fundamental concept that the region where China is located is where we survive and thrive and is crucial for China\u2019s stability and prosperity. In 2013, President Xi Jinping summed up China\u2019s neighborhood policy in four words: amity, sincerity, mutual benefit, and inclusiveness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Firstly, \u201cAmity\u201d means having good-neighborly interactions; providing mutual support; conducting frequent reciprocal visits; cultivating friendly ties which are informed by equality, cultural affinity, empathy; and doing more to warm the hearts of our neighbors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Secondly, \u201cSincerity\u201d means treating our neighbors with sincerity and good faith; and form friendships and partnerships that are based on mutual trust.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thirdly, to pursue \u201cmutual benefit\u201d means mobilizing resources in areas of economy, trade, science and technology, and finance; and fully leveraging the comparative advantages so as to promote intertwined interests. Let our neighbors benefit from China\u2019s development and China from theirs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fourthly, \u201cinclusiveness\u201d advocates that the Asia-Pacific region is big enough for the common development of all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

China endeavors to enhance common ground, openness and inclusiveness when getting along with its neighbors. Although geographically thousands of miles apart, the bilateral relations between Antigua and Barbuda is nothing short of close neighbors. China applauds and<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

supports the development of Antigua and Barbuda with utmost sincerity. Based on full understandings of the expectations of Antigua and Barbuda \u2013 and as long as the envisaged cooperation program is conducive to promoting the economy of Antigua and Barbuda and improving the livelihood of its people \u2013 China has provided support to the best of our abilities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fruitful results of bilateral cooperation in agriculture, medical care, infrastructure construction, technology and human resources \u2013 and their contribution to the twin-island nation \u2013 have spoken for themselves. In Antigua and Barbuda, one can see Chinese workers toiling hard in the sun on bilateral cooperation projects. China\u2019s cooperation with Antigua and Barbuda respects the sovereignty of Antigua and Barbuda and has no political strings attached.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The two sides are equal and we always pursue mutual benefit. More emphasis is being placed on \u201cYi\u201d, or \u201cupholding justice and cherishing friendship\u201d, than on gaining interests. \u201cYi\u201d reflects a Chinese moral concept. It is not a good sign that some people in the world are doing well while others are not. China will never take actions which only serve our interests but might harm Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With its capital, technology and experience, China helps inject impetus to the development of Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, some people in the US are concerned that Antigua and Barbuda may face default if they accept the concessional loans provided by China. This accusation of China creating the so-called \u201cdebt trap\u201d is purely groundless and seems to be out of jealousy. It almost constitutes an insult to the capability of our friends in Antigua and Barbuda to negotiate a sound deal, just as Ambassador Sanders suggested.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whether China\u2019s cooperation with Antigua and Barbuda is a \u201ccake\u201d or a \u201ctrap\u201d has been answered by acts and practices. In fact, when launching a cooperation project in or extending financing support to another country, China always conducts a careful feasibility study and market research, so that each project will deliver economic and social benefits as expected.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Similarly, we provide loans only if we believe it benefits the recipient country. In case our cooperation partners face difficulties in servicing debts, China does not press them for debt payment. Instead, we consult with them to find a solution acceptable to both sides and offer mutual support and assistance. Ambassador Sanders has an important mission to maintain bilateral cooperation between Antigua and Barbuda and the United States. This article pays homage to him.<\/p>\n
