举个例子，当牙买加在1999年遭遇货币汇率急跌，失业率飙升以及由政府负债问题引发的严重银行风险时，其传统贸易伙伴美国和英国都拒绝出手相助，于是牙买加政府转而向中国求援，后者则提供了1.38亿美元贷款协助重振经济。
For example, in 2009, Jamaica was faced with a plummeting currency, surging unemployment, and considerable banking-sector risks stemming from exposure to government debt. When its traditional allies, the United States and the United Kingdom, rejected its pleas for help, it turned to China, which provided $138 million in loans to prop up the economy.
