It was, at least for a while. Either the Taxman or whoever does SA's DDOS protection - I think it was Cloudflare - seemed to have it set to basically reject all traffic from China as potential spam/DDOS (lol) so it would time out at the "checking browser..." page. Now it works but I have to do a captcha the first time, which means the Awful app still won't work without a VPN  Edit: to be fair it was technical incompetence, not the Great Firewall that was blocking access.

Yeah I had to do a captcha (per day? per ip?) when I was in China too. I figured it activated the Pooh's third eye and all my keystrokes were recorded. Awful app worked because I was using Sprint's free roaming.

Probably someone up top realising that it's actually most convenient to just tolerate sexual minorities since they're clearly making an effort to reshape culture to their convenience already. That said, like a lot of things in China, remains to be seen how they're actually used in practice.

Iirc, the Cameroon video is about how their Cameroon debt cancellation is a fraction of the total debt, and that the debt trap is still real. I don't see why it's so hard to believe that China would use lending money as part of their foreign policy strategy. The West has been doing it for forever.

1) lol pevin unironically quoting world bank figures 2) that is for the entirety of sub-saharan africa. Chinese development projects are mostly located in Algeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Angola, and Nigeria. Algeria is, as you probably know, in Northern Africa, so it wouldn't be shown on that chart. In addition, sub-saharan africa has 49 countries and China is only focusing on a small handful with strategic benefits, so no poo poo the numbers are so big. 3) China is not part of the OECD and has no requirement to specify financial agreements. Any information that we get is extrapolated (generally) from western sources and we won't know the specific payment agreements unless the country being loaned to makes them public. 4) payment for debt is going to be taken from natural resources, as said countries are usually underdeveloped, hence the need for loans for infrastructure. natural resources are commodities and can fluctuate, which can gently caress up debt payments and lead to China being able to get strategic resources for literal pennies on the dollar. see: the Hambantota deepwater port in Sri Lanka, which is a great way to put enormous pressure on India, a regional power. Weirdly this is almost exactly what Britain did with Hong Kong in the 1890s for almost the exact same reasons. 5) not all of the debt has to be Chinese. Just enough to be able to wring concessions out of whatever country you're dealing with and having the power to back those threats up, as well as the countries being totally ignored.Here, look at this quote:Data shows that from 2014 to 2017, the Export-Import Bank Of China issued loans of more than 930 billion yuan (148 billion U.S. dollars). By the end of March, outstanding loans lent by the bank to countries along the Belt and Road was more than 810 billion yuan, up 29.7 percent year on year. 7) you're a literal han supremacist pevin, you'll support anything china does no matter what Grapplejack has issued a correction as of 07:16 on Mar 19, 2019 |

This is exactly why it's a bullshit talking point. Nobody's out there producing epic raps about the World Bank Debt Trap, just like how people bring up the spectre of the Social Credit System as a harbinger of looming Chinese "authoritarianism" completely oblivious to both the governmental and privatized panopticon that we live under everywhere else.
