So far, 23 LAC countries have signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with China, Xu said. Notable BRI projects include the Chancay Port – South America's first smart and green port – and the Jamaica North-South Highway. 

迄今为止，已有23个拉丁美洲和加勒比国家与中国签署了关于 “一带一路 ”倡议的谅解备忘录，包括南美洲首个智能绿色港口—钱凯港和牙买加南北高速公路。

The China-Columbia MoU is wide-ranging. The focus goes beyond mere infrastructure to include topics such as technological exchange, decarbonization, and reindustrialization—but none of that comes with a clear commitment. Instead, the pillars mirror the main elements of Petro’s National Development Plan, suggesting this is merely a statement of intent from China to continue to play a role in Colombia’s economic development rather than a play to pry Colombia away from Washington’s sphere of influence.

中国—哥伦比亚签订的谅解备忘录内容广泛。其重点不仅限于基础设施，还涵盖技术交流、去碳化和再工业化等议题，但这些都没有明确的承诺。相反，这些要点与彼得罗总统的国家发展计划的主要内容相吻合，这表明这份谅解备忘录只是中国继续在哥伦比亚的经济发展中发挥作用的意向表态，而并非旨在促使哥伦比亚脱离美国的势力范围。

President Xi Jinping vowed on Tuesday to boost China's footprint in Latin America and the Caribbean with a new $9 billion credit line and fresh infrastructure investment. The fresh credit line, denominated in yuan, will be welcomed in many regional capitals, analysts say, although the funding is not immediately useful to countries struggling to service dollar-denominated debt. 

周二，习近平主席提出，将通过提供90亿美元的新信贷额度和新基础设施投资，推动中国在拉美和加勒比地区的发展。有分析称，以人民币计价的新信贷额度将受到该地区许多国家的欢迎，尽管这笔资金的成效对于那些正努力偿还美元结算债务的国家来说并不是立竿见影的。

By announcing a $9 billion yuan-denominated credit line and fresh infrastructure investment for the region, Xi not only reasserted China’s role as a development financier but also positioned the yuan as an alternative to the dollar-dominated monetary logic—a strategy aligned with the country’s long-term efforts to internationalize its currency. “There are no winners in tariff wars or trade wars. Bullying or hegemonism only leads to self-isolation,” Xi said in his inaugural speech.

通过宣布为该地区提供90亿美元的人民币信贷额度和新的基础设施投资，习近平主席不仅重申了中国作为发展融资者的角色，还将人民币定位为美元主导货币逻辑的替代品——这一战略与人民币国际化的长期目标相一致。“关税战或贸易战没有赢家。霸凌霸道只会导致自我孤立，”国家主席习近平在开幕演讲中说道。
