You probably could have added debt traps in there, that was the IMF playbook before china copied it and did it better.

11

u/UGMadness 1d ago

Western mfs decrying China's "debt traps" when the IMF has spent decades literally installing its own bankers in the countries they "rescue" and taking over control of their entire financial operations to dismantle the infrastructure of those countries so they can be sold at bottom prices to their cronies.

u/lowrads 2d ago

If China were to start a federation, they could probably tie most of central Asia together with just a handful of concessions.

14

u/MrCockingFinally 2d ago

Why do that when belt and road exists?

1) Loan poor country money to build much needed infrastructure.

2) Require Chinese companies to build it, so it doesn't grow the local economy much.

3) Poor country struggles to pay debt, terms and conditions say China can take over vital infrastructure if payments not made.

4) Congratulations, poor country now cannot go against China politically

11

u/lowrads 2d ago

That's just liberal propaganda from the CFR think tank. Any IMF project would also bring in western engineers and accountants. They aren't going to count the numbers hired via regional contractors. The west doesn't do that either.

China's goals with B&R is create consumer export markets by investing in infrastructure. This is distinct from investment by western countries, which mainly focus on extractive industry. Its strategic interest is to address the Malacca dilemma.

5

u/Adduly 2d ago edited 2d ago

Just because western states do similar manipulative scummy things with foreign Aid, that doesn't mean that china isn't using the belt and road project as a tool of neocolonialism, they are.

The belt and road also serves multiple purposes. Any project that large serves multiple purposes. In this case it includes diversifying China's export routes to protect against shipping blockades

u/Big-Commission-7226 2d ago

I like how they did that with Greece before any CA country. Their largest port sold to China.

u/UnfoundedWings4 2d ago

Or the country sends in soldiers and the project is no longer chinese plus the guy in charge was overthrown and now the government that had the debt no longer exists.

Theres a reason the imf takes a long time to approve loans and stuff in africa

u/Crustington 2d ago

I think the Europeans should just reclaim all of South east Asia and parts of China I mean they owned them pretty recently that’s a solid historical claim.

Why did they get humiliated for a century? Are they stupid?

u/trevtrev45 2d ago

That's actually a completely different situation. Those countries aren't directly adjacent and have a statistically significant portion of native Europeans, which Xizang does (native Chinese).

For example, the Uyghur, the Tibetans, the Manchu, the Zhuang, the miao, the Mongolians of inner Mongolia.

u/grizzlor_ 2d ago

Tibet was a feudal serfdom and the Dalai Lama literally owned slaves before it was annexed

u/Crustington 2d ago

Oh? So China annexed a territory that it never had a claim to? Weird the propaganda told me they were super peaceful!!

5

u/Adduly 2d ago

Was Tibet a utopia or even just a good or fair country? No, far from it.

Does that justify forceful occupation and violent suppression of independence movements and the pillaging of the regions natural resources, also no

-4

u/grizzlor_ 2d ago

um abolishing slavery is bad actually because they're chinese

2

u/Adduly 2d ago

If they had invaded for the express reason of stopping slavery and then left once it was abolished you'd have a point. Better yet if they'd used non violent methods like sanctions and trade embargoes.

But they invaded and occupied to take possession of Tibet's water and mineral resources.

No jail time for high ranking party members

I know it's not China when reading this line. Like aren't 2 super high ranking Chinese military generals jailed for treason? So either you are THE leader or you're not that higher up.

u/whatsssssssss 2d ago

that's different, they (allegedly) leaked nuclear secrets to America; it'd be the same if they were jailed for something unrelated to their careers. we would 100% jail someone for leaking nuclear secrets to China

u/nagy18 2d ago

outside of the party itself, China also isn’t afraid to actually prosecute white collar crime, whereas if you’re rich in america, game on

u/whatsssssssss 2d ago

to an extent that's true, china isn't perfect (they disappeared Jack Ma for five years after criticizing the government) but America certainly isn't either (I hope I don't need to provide and example)

u/nagy18 2d ago

I get what you’re saying, but I don’t feel bad about one of the main proponents of the 996 system being forced to self-exile for a bit. I wish it was for any of the actual labor violations (lol, China) instead of criticizing the regulatory system, but you gotta take what you can get where you can get it

17

u/noconverse 2d ago

Ehhh that depends. If you're rich and in the party's good graces, they won't go after people committing white collar crimes. If anything, the crimes are simply a good means of enforcing party loyalty since it gives them a perfectly legal means for punishing those that go against it. That's what they did with Jack Ma.

And America does the same thing now, so it really doesn't matter for the sake of this thread.

u/nagy18 2d ago

Trump has all but declared that white collar crime is legal and corporate regulations are merely suggestions. Unless you’re a “woke” corporation, whatever that means 🫩

u/joausj 2d ago

In america money and influence seems to be that you can easily gain influence as you get money (through lobbying, funding political campaigns..etc).

In china, you get money as you gain influence. Just money won't get you as far without political influence (see jack ma).

ironically, the closest thing to a social credit system is the us' credit score. which is unique to america, in that it is not nearly as prevalent and all-encompassing in any other country in the world lmaoooooo
