They’re not going to like it when China tells them it’s payback time.
West: exploits countries, gives nothing back
China: exploits countries, gives public transport and jobs at high price
Western citizens: Hah! Look at those dumb countries!
Why don’t you look into how much of Ethiopia’s GDP goes to paying back China.
Why don’t you look into how much of Africa’s resources exit the continent for Western use at a fraction of the actual price?
Who do you think put African countries in the precarious positions they are in where they feel nearly obliged to look at seemingly better deals?
Earlier this year, the World Bank approved US$270 million in financing to help improve connectivity between neighbours Tanzania and Zambia and boost regional trade.
I’d love for the west to say “fuck it let China foot the bill for everything going forward” and pull out leaving the 3rd world to be used and abused by them.
Chinese colonialism doesn’t get the press it deserves because no one cares about brown people being the victims. And China has zero fucks about human rights at home.
Tanzania and Zambia about to join the “going to find out about Chinese colonialism the hard way” club. Corruption is cancer to any society.
