YOU SEE THIS IS A PLOT TO BUY POLITICAL BROWNIE POINTS SO CHINA CAN BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH AFRICA
what ?you want the IMFs to cancel its debt? WELL SOMEONE NEEDS TO PAY FOR THEM THAT'S CAPITALISM
"How will Kenya pay for this hospital" kind of betrays how western empires do it, right? Predatory loans and currency manipulation, which then leads to debt, subsequently followed by sanctions and threat of military intervention. China as far as I know, seems to do standard commerce with other countries and frequently forgives debt.
The accusation is that China will someday do the same thing as western countries but in a sneaky way that seems neutral/benevolent at first.
The difference is that the west has rarely done anything benevolent for poor nations
The west should be so kind as to provide hospitals in exchange for payment, right now all it really does is take payment in exchange for nothing at all.
Implying China is perfect is implying that it's not progressing, :lib-status:
You claim to be an anarchist yet you also claim to be a member of the feudal aristocratic hierarchy. Curious! :very-intelligent:
That you'll go to bed on timeJokes aside, the whole "qualifying a statement before you make it" trend that's prevalent on any and all leftist space does kind of irritate me. This isn't about you in particular, I see it everywhere.
i think they're just being a bit of an asshole
China should give nukes to CELAC and the African Union :sicko-wistful:
I'll never understand why people say the left, or even liberals are all smug, condescending asswipes but CHUDs seem to be incapable of entertaining the idea that they might not be omniscient.
The power of smugness is in how good it makes you feel when your team is doing it.
Reagan was the smuggest motherfucker alive and every Western politician since has been trying to replicate his White Boy Magic.
BBC: mud filter, ominous music, scary font "Tonight, an expose into the dark world of China's hospital diplomacy."
Remember when China gave a bunch of developing countries COVID vaccines for free and Westoid MSM had to try to reframe the basic concept that people like you when you help them as cunning Chinese diplomacy?
MSM: theyre only giving these vaccines away so these countries choose loans from China over IMF loans
China: forgives debt
MSM: :confusion:
"How will Kenya pay for the hospital" is also a relevant question in the west's dealings with the global south. The difference is that in this case the hospital is placed in Belgium.
I wish we would just leave Africa and its many nations alone. The West/Global North have been ransacking, pillaging, plundering, robbing, looting, stealing from the African continent. England specifically has been violently, economically, physically, psychically, culturally, spiritually, and every other -ally way abused Africa as a whole and has the audacity to lecture nations. African nations can’t begin to self-determine while the cold iron hooks of the global north rustle in their flesh.
thats never going to happen, so help from China giving them more of a leg up is the most practical way to do it
Reminder for anybody who needs to annoy some liberals about China:
