The Chinese military industrial conglomerate does not just hand out money. They expect a transfer of control of assets and absolute obedience.

Have you seen the results of investment from China in other countries? Parts of Africa, Sri Lanka, even Australia? Is it investment or a buyout? I just suggest a wary eye.

In some countries who can never afford the repayments for the infrastructure "loans", and will have to signover ownership when in default. Look across the Pacific region

Chinese investment is not about creating employment for Thai people, it's about enslaving them to debt.

Much Chinese investment in the UK. Cameron and Osborne went cap in hand to them and it is not just condos and office blocks but swathes of vital industries too.

Selling off the land and the industries to foreign entities, good way to go, as tin "Art of War" control/undermine the commerce and financials, then you have leverage.

They have also bought up large farmholdings in Australia majority of the product going directly to China, and purchased water rights with a tick from the conservative and labor governments

Yes, not just the 3rd world countries desperate for investment that take on debt they cannot service, nor even intended to, and ultimately hand over their resources.... The West also needs to cover vital organs and not be distracted by their actions.

The above posts appear to relate to the much lauded assistance given to nations from developing to developed nations across the globe under the Chinese Belt and Road initiatives.

Which country has done the infrastructure for the high speed trains and rolling stock ? Loan terms unseen,.

The Chinese also have taken 99 year lease on port in Darwin, built roads and infrastructure across Pacific nations, with loans which they cannot repay. 
The modern version of Sun Tzu “Art of War “

 

Along with one of the ports in Melbourne.

3rd Wold countries take on debt to the Chinese, developed nations just sell off their assets to the Chinese.
