我認為必須將誇大宣傳和現實區分開來，斯里蘭卡並沒有落入“陷阱”。中國也沒有用錢引誘我們，是我們主動向中國尋求資金支援。在此之前，斯里蘭卡就投資問題接觸過西方和一些多邊機構。

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.
