As I alluded to in my post, China isn't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. They're doing it as a concerted and deliberate strategy to gain strategic control and influence in countries around the world. That's the point. This isn't charity or beneficence, but it is smart.


No you said it wasn't gunboat diplomacy. It most assuredly is.

I think you need to read up more on the Belt and Road and especially on what Italy thought of it.

They must be thrilled at the opening that they're being given here. Not only has the nascent Administration been publicly antagonizing Colombia and Panama, but they've also suspended not just all foreign aid, but also all of our government foreign investment programs. We've basically cleared the field for China all over the world.

Yup. That's what we're doing, making it easier for the Chinese to take over the world. 你好!
