China owed $385bn – including ‘hidden debt’ from poorer nations, says report

AidData finds 42 low-to-middle income nations with ‘belt and road’ exposure exceeding 10% of GDP

Researchers have identified debts of at least $385bn (£286bn) owed by 165 countries to China for ”belt and road initiative” (BRI) projects, with loans systematically underreported to international bodies such as the World Bank.

The four-year study by US-based research lab AidData said the debt burdens were kept off the public balance sheets through the use of special purpose and semi-private loans, and were “substantially larger than research institutions, credit rating agencies, or intergovernmental organisations with surveillance responsibilities previously understood”.

It found 42 low-to-middle income countries (LMICs) had debt exposure to China exceeding 10% of their GDP, including Laos, Papua New Guinea, the Maldives, Brunei, Cambodia and Myanmar.

Laos had significant proportions of its debt classed by AidData as “hidden”, the report revealed. The $5.9bn China-Laos railway project is funded entirely with unofficial debt equivalent to about a third of its GDP.

I remember hearing the views of some Africans on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). They cited the fact that China had never colonised them and were not racist towards them. The Chinese are very racist towards Blacks just like everybody else whose not Black. There was the Chinese restaurant in Nairobi that banned Africans, the McDonald's in Guangzhou that banned Blacks because of , get this, Covid19, and not forgetting the attacks on Africans and Blacks in China, again because of Covid19 but also just racism in general and this happened when there was very little covid in Africa, certainly far less than in China itself.

The BRI is just another form of neocolonialism designed to extract as much money and resources from the countries that sign up to it.
