Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US?
bobo@lemmy.ml 4 days agoYeah 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…

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, this are just some examples from my country.
