圭亚那首都乔治敦——在该南美国家海岸线外约100英里的海上，埃克森美孚公司每天从一个规模庞大的石油发现地汲取数十万桶原油，此举正在重塑这个人口稀疏的国家。
而在陆地上，中国的身影正推动着这一变化。中国企业在这里建设海滨酒店、桥梁、道路和购物中心。他们在圭亚那亚马逊地区的偏远地区开采铝土矿与锰矿石资源。该国的主要国际机场得到了来自中国进出口银行150万美元贷款的支持，进行了翻修升级。

原文摘要：
GEORGETOWN, Guyana—More than 100 miles off the coast of Guyana, Exxon Mobil is pumping hundreds of thousands of barrels every day from a gargantuan oil discovery that is transforming the sparsely populated South American country. Back onshore, much of the transformation is being undertaken by China. Chinese companies are building waterside hotels, bridges, roads and shopping centers. They mine for bauxite and manganese in the remote areas of the country’s Amazon region. The main international airport was renovated with a $150 million loan from China’s Export-Import Bank.
