我认为必须将夸大宣传和现实区分开来，斯里兰卡并没有落入“陷阱”。中国也没有用钱引诱我们，是我们主动向中国寻求资金支持。在此之前，斯里兰卡就投资问题接触过西方和一些多边机构。

I think we have to separate propaganda from reality. Sri Lanka did not fall into a trap. China did not come to us with money. We went to China for funding, and this is after we had approached the West and multilateral institutions for the funding.
