tbh comrade "CarlZha"'s criticism of obvious CIA sponsored propaganda meant to sow discord, hurt of the feelings of the Chinese people, and incite so-called "Democratic and Human rights" bad elements within Socialist China is problematic here: most of Xinjiang lives in cities so even if most "villages and towns" are ethnically cleansed it's entirely possible only a million or two end up in concentration camps. Not 7 million as the comrade estimates in the tweet. I encourage comrade "CarlZha" to make the appropriate self-criticism to rectify her error.

this is actually not true and is a "popular psychology" misnomer. People react in all kinds of ways to severe trauma and shock is a very common one.

Imperialism with chinese characteristics

https://www.maritime-executive.com/article/kenya-risks-losing-port-of-mombasa-to-china

quote:

Kenya runs the risk of losing control of the Port of Mombasa if it should default on loans from state financial institution China Exim Bank, according to a new report from Kenya's auditor general. The terms of a $2.3 billion loan for Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) specify that the port's assets are collateral, and they are not protected by Kenya's sovereign immunity due to a waiver in the contract.

KRC accepted the multi-billion-dollar loan in order to build the Mombasa-Nairobi standard gauge railway (SGR), with construction services provided by China Roads and Bridges Corporation (CRBC), a division of state-owned conglomerate China Communications Construction Company (CCCC).

The SGR, also known as the Madaraka Express, is a diesel-powered passenger and freight rail service connecting Nairobi and Mombasa. Its construction was plagued by cost overruns, and outside observers have questioned its economic viability. 80 percent of the project was financed by China.



https://www.dailysabah.com/energy/2018/09/09/china-to-take-over-zambias-state-power-company-over-unpaid-debt-report-claims

quote:

secret talks are underway for China to take over Zambia's state power company Zesco after the country defaulted on loan payments, a report by Africa Confidential claimed.

The report also said that China previously finalized a takeover of Zambia's national broadcaster ZNBC.

Zambia's President Edgar Lungu has signed at least $8 billion in loans for various projects from China since his inauguration in 2015.

"The long-term outcome could be effective Chinese ownership of the commanding heights of the economy and potentially the biggest loss of national sovereignty since independence," the report said.

Last week, Edgar Lungu was among several other African presidents who attended the China - Africa summit in Beijing where Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged $60 billion in financial support to African nations and denied engaging in a "debt trap" diplomacy.

Yeah, this is clearly way more cost-effective than the American approach, though. If we cut military spending just by $100B/year and put that money in a SWF we could buy most of the Americas outright.

But that's giving money to South America instead of back to our own defense industry. American imperialism exists solely for that purpose. Pacifying most of the world with money is possible but that's like curing disease to a private health industry.
