document obtained from wikileak - the vablegate09BISHKEK135, CHINESE AMBASSADOR FLUSTERED BY KYRGYZ ALLEGATIONShttp://cablegate.wikileaks.org/cable/2009/02/09BISHKEK135.html
Ambassador met February 13 with Chinese Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan Zhang Yannian.

Composing himself, Zhang inquired if maybe the Kyrgyz had meant the trade turnover between the two countries, which he claimed was about $3 billion a year. When disabused of that notion, Zhang went on at length to explain that China could not afford a $3 billion loan and aid package. "It would take $3 from every Chinese person" to pay for it. "If our people found out, there'd be a revolution," he said. "We have 200 million people unemployed" because of the downturn in exports, he said, and millions of disabled and others who need help from the government.
