Stop repeating the propaganda that is thinly veiled European projection of their own guilt onto its enemies.

The Atlantic is a deeply imperial publication and even its analysis contradicts the bullshit that China's loans are predatory.

The debt slavery is a part of the European project. Every loan the Europeans give is a trap. Hell, even when they give money away for free it's a trap - for every dollar given to African countries in aid, 24 are extracted through predatory pricing, predatory loans, mandatory contracts, etc.
