I love how you trolls just keep regurgitating the same few tropes

my guy your waking life consists of reposting the same 5 talking points

i’d maybe take a moment of quiet reflection

Chinese Investment In Africa Has Had ‘Significant And Persistently Positive’ Long-Term Effects Despite Controversy

“The results show that Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) sets in motion a process of transformation in the local economy that damages local competitors but – at the same time – benefits local suppliers to the new Chinese firms as well as their local clients.”

this is another way of saying that local businesses are destroyed, save from the ones that become functionally chinese subsidiaries

if the west did this you’d be having a meltdown

study on Chinese investments

you know that when a bank restructures a loan for you, it’s not out of the goodness of their hearts, right?

and that’s when they do restructure a loan for you, rather than just letting you default and having your economy explode like happened with sri lanka

no debt trap

guys they didn’t SEIZE a port they merely forced a country to lease it for 99 years at a bargain bin price

this is about the port again

https://www.sabcnews.com/sabcnews/chinas-infrastructure-investment-helps-fast-track-development-in-africa-expert/

this just says “development good” without defining what that is

the same metric would justify european colonialism of africa

except for all the cases where they don’t and countries have to default, i guess
