华盛顿可能希望发展中国家的国家在美国和中国之间选边站队，但他们正竭尽全力避免陷入永久性的阵营，英国发展金融机构负责人在接受Semafor采访时表示。
Washington may want countries in the developing world to pick sides between the US and China, but they are doing everything they can to avoid falling into permanent camps, the head of the UK’s development finance body told Semafor.
“地缘政治正在使发展金融领域变得复杂，”莱斯利·马斯多普在曼谷举行的Semafor世界经济全球领袖晚宴上说。他补充说，即便西方主导的发展金融机构，如他的英国国际投资公司，隐含地倡导与中国不同的价值观，但优先发展清洁能源使得在供应链中剔除中国企业几乎不可能，因为中国企业在该行业占据主导地位。
“Geopolitics is complicating the world of development finance,” Leslie Maasdorp said during a Semafor World Economy Global Leaders Dinner in Bangkok. He added that even as Western-led development finance bodies, such as his British International Investment, implicitly espoused a differing set of values from China’s, prioritizing clean power made it impossible to remove Chinese firms from supply chains given their dominance of the sector.
他的言论与美国发展金融公司负责人上月对Semafor的表述形成对比，后者称华盛顿至少在技术领域正寻求扩大与美国相匹配的基础设施。“不在美国友好的轨道上建设简直是疯狂，”他说。
His remarks stand in contrast to those from the head of the US Development Finance Corporation, who told Semafor last month that Washington was, at least in the tech arena, looking to expand infrastructure aligned with the US. “Not building on US-friendly rails would be madness,” he said.
