虽然东南亚国家联盟一直厚着脸皮向主要资本主义强国企求经济援助,然而,某些东盟成员国却拒绝苏联提供的某些可能引起许多麻烦的贷款。用新加坡总理李光耀的话来说,这多少是由于东盟已经陷入资本主义的经济框框;而且看来它们还担心这样做会引起中国的疑虑。 Although the Association of South-East Asian Nations has been cheekily seeking economic aid from the major capitalist powers, some ASEAN member countries have rejected certain loans that the Soviet Union may cause a lot of troubles. In the words of Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, this is due in no small part to the fact that ASEAN has plunged into an economic framework of capitalism; and it seems that they are also worried that doing so would arouse China’s misgivings.
