So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?
“when you think about it, China trading with other countries is just as bad as us carpet bombing them”
Yeah it’s great we built the most expensive highway in the world using Chinese prison labour, on Chinese loans, and it’s falling apart less then a year in. It’s perfectly fine that there are a 1000 different schemes draining the budget and literally killing people with tofu dreg construction. I guess we should feel lucky Chinese companies will take over national parks, waterways, and exploit every single resource until there’s only a toxic wasteland left…
Source for any of those claims?
The same group that’s talked about in the first article has built the highway I’m talking about, but I can’t find an article with a good overview.
Google “developing countries debt trap China” and you’ll find plenty of articles on the overall scheme, these are just some examples from my country.
