6月14日，加拿大籍亞投行員工畢加博在其推特賬號(hào)上宣布辭去亞投行全球通信主管一職。此后，加官方還據(jù)此聲稱，將就該員工所指控的情況展開(kāi)調(diào)查。加方此次散布有關(guān)言論完全是一出嘩眾取寵的政治鬧劇。

Canada officially joined the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank in 2018 despite Washington’s objections, because it saw opportunities in its own interests.

加拿大不顧美國(guó)的反對(duì)，于2018年正式加入亞洲基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施投資銀行，因?yàn)樗吹搅朔献陨砝娴臋C(jī)會(huì)。

“Canada’s membership will create commercial opportunities for Canadian companies and create jobs for the middle class,” said then Canadian finance minister Bill Morneau. “Canada is always looking for ways to create hope and opportunity for people around the world, and membership in the AIIB is an opportunity to do just that.”

“加拿大加入亞投行將為本國(guó)公司創(chuàng)造商業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，并為中產(chǎn)階級(jí)創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，”時(shí)任加拿大財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)比爾·莫諾說(shuō)。“加拿大一直在尋找為世界各地人民創(chuàng)造希望和機(jī)會(huì)的方法，而加入亞投行正可以實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)?！?/p>

Anti-Beijing sentiment seems to have taken on a life of its own in the West. To such an extent that a Canadian citizen resigned as the global communications director of the AIIB this week alleging it is “dominated by the Communist Party of China”.

在西方，反華情緒似乎有了自己的生命力。本周，一名加籍亞投行員工宣稱“亞投行被中國(guó)控制”，并以此為由辭去了亞投行全球通信主管的職務(wù)。

That is clearly a loaded statement.

這顯然是言過(guò)其實(shí)的說(shuō)辭。

It is true China is the largest shareholder with 26.6 percent of the voting rights. But the bank’s board of directors, which is responsible for the direction of the bank’s general operations, including approving the bank’s strategy and establishing policies, comprises representatives from 11 other countries as well as the representative from China.

中國(guó)確實(shí)是亞投行最大的股東，擁有26.6%的投票權(quán)。但負(fù)責(zé)指導(dǎo)該行一般業(yè)務(wù)（包括批準(zhǔn)該行戰(zhàn)略和制定政策）的董事會(huì)中，除了中國(guó)的代表外，還包括來(lái)自其他11個(gè)成員國(guó)的代表。

In a Wednesday statement on the matter, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, who is also the Canadian representative in the bank’s board of governors, said Canada would “immediately” halt all official activity at the AIIB as her ministry carries out an “immediate” review of the allegation and of Canada’s involvement with the AIIB.

加拿大副總理兼財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)克里斯蒂婭·弗里蘭也是加拿大在亞投行理事會(huì)的代表，她在周三的一份聲明中表示，加拿大將暫時(shí)凍結(jié)與亞投行的關(guān)系?，財(cái)政部立刻開(kāi)始對(duì)相關(guān)指控以及加拿大參與亞投行的情況進(jìn)行調(diào)查。

Inadvertently or not, she highlighted the politicized motivation for the resignee’s claim.

無(wú)論是否有意，她都在聲明中強(qiáng)調(diào)了辭職者所發(fā)聲明的政治化動(dòng)機(jī)。

“The Government of Canada will also discuss this matter with our allies and partners who are members of the Bank,” she said. Her remark that “...I am not ruling out any outcome following its completion” has sparked speculation about a possible Canadian withdrawal from the AIIB and a possible domino effect among the other allies of the United States.

“加拿大政府還將與我們的盟友和合作伙伴討論這個(gè)問(wèn)題，他們都是亞投行的成員?！彼硎?，“不排除調(diào)查產(chǎn)生任何結(jié)果的可能性”。這引發(fā)了人們對(duì)加拿大可能退出亞投行以及此事或?qū)⒃诿绹?guó)其他盟友中產(chǎn)生多米諾骨牌效應(yīng)的猜測(cè)。

If that happens, it will be a heavy blow not only to the multilateral banking institution, which is dedicated to Asian economic progress, but to the already frosty relationship between Beijing and Ottawa.

如果發(fā)生這種情況，不僅將對(duì)這家致力于亞洲經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的多邊銀行機(jī)構(gòu)造成沉重打擊，也將對(duì)中國(guó)和加拿大之間本已冷淡的關(guān)系造成沉重打擊。

As the AIIB pointed out in a statement, the bank is a diverse international team representing 65 different nationalities serving 106 members worldwide. The globalized personnel structure alone makes it impossible for the CPC to control the bank.

正如亞投行在一份聲明中所稱，亞投行擁有一支多元化國(guó)際團(tuán)隊(duì)，成員來(lái)自65個(gè)國(guó)家和經(jīng)濟(jì)體，為全球的106個(gè)成員提供服務(wù)。全球化的人員結(jié)構(gòu)也使得加拿大籍亞投行員工的論斷無(wú)法成立。

But although the allegation is “baseless”, as the bank said in its statement, this is unlikely to prevent the attack on the bank’s integrity from intensifying amid the recent Western frenzy about “dependency on China” and concerns about its influence among developing countries.

盡管亞投行在聲明中說(shuō)這一指控“毫無(wú)根據(jù)”，但最近西方對(duì)“過(guò)度依賴中國(guó)”論調(diào)十分狂熱，并對(duì)中國(guó)在發(fā)展中國(guó)家影響力的感到擔(dān)憂，鑒于此，西方對(duì)亞投行可信度的攻擊不會(huì)就此收斂，而是會(huì)愈演愈烈。
