These countries need to understand that calls to cut rich-country voting shares at the IMF, unless they are backed up by real money, are naïve, if not downright hypocritical. At the end of the day, as long as the IMF is in the lending business, it needs to keep its creditors happy.
这些国家必须明白，如果没有真金白银作后盾，那么削减富国在IMF投票权的呼吁即便不是彻底的虚伪，也是异想天开。毕竟，只要IMF仍在借出，它就必须让债权人满意。否则他们就会撤股，这样IMF（及其姊妹组织世界银行）就会陷入自身的债务危机之中。现在，美国、欧洲和日本提供了绝大部分资本，因而也拥有非同一般的权力。
