There were several stories a few months ago about how China’s Silk Road projects were being given to countries they couldn’t pay them back. I guess it’s true. Look for more of this.

rich loan to poor to get richer. this is new to you? you think china is the first or the last to do this? IMF is doing this wherever they can. the west is annoyed china is doing this too so they push all these "amg china is evil" articles to stir the pot and try to turn the locals against chinese.

I'm not sure comparing China with the IMF will help your case; at least in my Western European country, the IMF is itself considered evil by many.

Forcing/enticing people to incur debts they can't pay off is a time-honored colonialist tactic for gaining control of land.

Yes. Belt and road is imperialism, no doubt. We (Europeans) did the same to Africa before.

And it was condemnable then too.
