虽然七国集团启动了一个6000亿美元的全球基础设施项目来对抗中国,但是,实际情况是什么?七国集团能反制中国吗?他们是否有足够的资金或资源来实施它?作为全球经济危机的受害者,七国集团是否有诚意投入如此巨额的资金?
七国集团领导人周日承诺,将在五年内筹集6000亿美元的私人和公共基金,为发展中国家所需的基础设施提供资金,并对抗中国规模数万亿美元的“一带一路”项目。
今年,美国总统拜登等七国集团(G7)领导人在德国南部埃尔茂施洛斯举行的年度会议上,重新启动了被重新命名为“全球基础设施与投资伙伴关系”(PGII)。
拜登说,美国将在五年内动员2000亿美元的赠款、联邦基金和私人投资,支持中低收入国家的项目,帮助应对气候变化,改善全球健康、性别平等和数字基础设施。剩下的4000亿美元将由七国集团其他国家分担。很明显,这笔钱不是援助,也不是慈善,而是投资,它将产生利润,并相应地由投资者分享。
美国有二战后西欧启动的“元帅计划”的经验。其目的是帮助西欧重建其被战争破坏的基础设施,重振其经济。美国是马歇尔计划的主要受益者,而西欧也获得了很多。
但是,这一次的目标非常不同——对抗中国或对抗中国的“一带一路”大型倡议。中国的“一带一路”倡议于2013年启动,耗资数万亿美元,得到了约150个国家、国家和组织的认可。许多国家已经成为“一带一路”的受益者,“一带一路”的成果正在很多国家共享。“一带一路”倡议不带任何政治动机,面向所有人开放,任何国家、任何组织都可以从中受益。相反,七国集团的计划是政治化的,专注于对抗中国。
七国集团资金充足吗?当他们自己的经济陷入困境时,他们能拿出这样的资金吗?与中国的“一带一路”倡议不同,七国集团拟议的资金将主要来自私人投资者,因此无法得到保障。七国集团是否有中国那样的基础设施建设经验?他们有能力吗?如果他们自己的基础设施落后,他们怎么能帮助其他国家发展?中国首先升级了自己的基础设施,展示了自己的能力,得到认可后,它帮助其他国家发展。中国在基础设施方面比世界其他国家先进得多。七国集团的所有国家都愿意对抗中国吗?七国集团的一些成员与中国在贸易、经济、科技等领域有着密切的合作伙伴关系。七国集团中的一些国家依赖于中国投资,或者至少受益于中国投资。很少有国家是依赖中国的贸易伙伴。七国集团(G7)成员国在政治上是否一致?他们愿意面对事与愿违的后果吗?
欧洲是中国在贸易、投资和发展方面的密切合作伙伴。他们不能牺牲自己的国家利益。在政治上,他们更接近中国。
周一,中国外交部发言人赵立坚在北京的每日新闻发布会上为“一带一路”倡议的记录辩护。赵在谈到七国集团的6000亿美元计划时说:“中国继续欢迎所有促进全球基础设施发展的倡议。”“我们相信,毫无疑问,各种相关倡议将相互取代。我们反对以基础设施建设为借口搞地缘政治算计,反对抹黑“一带一路”建设。”
事实上,中国是一个开放的国家,不认为这对“一带一路”大倡议构成威胁。有多种发展方式是好事,发展中国家应该有更多的选择和机会。中国坚定支持全球化、多边竞争、开放、自由、公平竞争。它相信自己的能力、经验和财务实力。中国的合作共赢理念得到了国际社会的认可和信任,没有必要恐慌。没错,中国欢迎。
人们认为,全球发展需要更多的项目和倡议。发达国家应该提供更多的选择。如果有更多的选择,发展中国家将热烈欢迎。一个健康的完成总是一个好的现象。如果这些项目纯粹是为了发展,而不是为了政治,那才更值得赞赏。重点应该放在人类的福祉上,而不是获得霸权和霸权。

G7’s $600 Billion projects, no threat to Chinese BRI
Although G7 launches a $600B global infrastructure project to counter China, but, what are the ground realities? Can G7 counter China? Do they have enough money or resources to implement it? Is there any sincerity among G7 countries to invest such a huge amount, while they are also a victim of a global economic meltdown?
Group of Seven leaders pledged on Sunday to raise $600 billion in private and public funds over five years to finance needed infrastructure in developing countries and counter China’s older, multitrillion-dollar Belt and Road project.
U.S. President Joe Biden and other G7 leaders relaunched the newly renamed “Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment, (PGII)” at their annual gathering being held this year at Schloss Elmau in southern Germany.
Biden said the United States would mobilize $200 billion in grants, federal funds, and private investment over five years to support projects in low- and middle-income countries that help tackle climate change as well as improve global health, gender equity, and digital infrastructure. The rest of the US Dollars 400 Billion will be shared by other G7 nations. It is very much clear that this money is not aid, nor charity, but, an investment, which will generate profit and will be shared by investors accordingly.
The US has experience with the “Marshal Program” launched just after WWII in Western Europe. The aim was to assist Western Europe to rebuild its war-damaged infrastructure and revive its economy. The US was a major beneficiary of the Marshal Program while Western Europe also gained a lot.
But, this time, the objective is very much different – to counter China or to counter the Chinese mega initiative of Belt and Road. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was launched in 2013, with trillions of dollars, and got recognition from around 150 nations, countries, and organizations. Many countries are the beneficiaries of BRI already and the fruits of it are being enjoyed in many countries. BRI has no political motives and is open to all, any nation, country, or organization can be a beneficiary of it. Contrarily, G7’s program is politicized and focused to counter China only.
Does the G7 have sufficient funds? Can they spare such funds when their own economies are in trouble? Unlike China’s huge BRI initiative, the proposed G7 funding would come largely from private investors and is therefore not guaranteed. Do G7 countries have experience with infrastructure developments like China? Do they have capacity? If their own infrastructure is lacking behind, how can they assist other nations to develop? China upgraded its own infrastructure first and demonstrated its capability, after getting recognition, it assisted other nations in development. China is much more advance in infrastructure as compared to the rest of the world. Can all the G7 nations be willing to counter China? Some of the G7 members are close partners with China in trade, economy, and S&T. Some of the G7 depend on Chinese investment and or at least beneficiary of it. Few are dependent trading partners with China. Are all G7 nations on the same page politically? Are they willing to face the backfire or repercussions?
Overall Europe is a close partner with China in trade, investment, and development. They cannot sacrifice their national interests. Politically, they are closer to China.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian defended the track record of BRI when asked for comment at a daily briefing in Beijing on Monday. “China continues to welcome all initiatives to promote global infrastructure development,” Zhao said of the G7’s $600 billion plan. “We believe that there is no question that various related initiatives will replace each other. We are opposed to pushing forward geopolitical calculations under the pretext of infrastructure construction or smearing the Belt and Road Initiative.”
In fact, China is an open country and does not consider it a threat to its mega initiative of BRI. It is good to have multiple approaches to development, developing nations should have more options and opportunities. China strongly believes in globalization, multi-laterals, and open, free & fair competition. It trusts in its capacity, capability, experience, and financial strengths. Its approach of win-win cooperation got global recognition and established confidence, so there is no need of panicking. Rightly, China welcomes.
It is believed that more projects and initiatives are required for global developments. Advanced and developed nations should come up with more options. Developing nations warmly welcome, if more options and choices are available. A healthy completion is always a good phenomenon. It will be much more appreciated if such projects are purely for development, no politics at all. The focus should be on the welfare of humankind and not on gaining hegemony or supremacy.
