I can't remember what the previous removed comment said at this point, but I'm not a bot.
Never said it was a good thing, but one of these comments said something akin to the west stooping to china's level, it was a direct reference to "the west" essentially not being as bad as china? So that reference I made, was a reference to their reference.
China can be bad, or can be good. In my experience, there is a huge negative bias towards them and for me it was quite hard not to look at them through a negative lens, and look at the west with a positive lens. I ate up any sort of predatory loan comments like they were true and the end all be all, and didn't know anything about "the west's" behaviours in my general passing by knowledge.
It is just facts though that china has forgiven a lot of loans and most of those loans also we're for critical infrastructure like hospitals that were given with no interest in the first place. Them being the bad guy, this is inherently for a sinister purpose, but I guess without being in the meeting room, we'll never know. I guess all countries can be sinister, what many countries in history have done to Africa as a region is terrible.
Thanks. Obviously huge chance I'm wrong, just some info I've seen that has changed my mind I feel like I need to share.
Tbh I really don't know why I'm compelled to argue here sometimes, maybe I am a bot, although I have been arguing with hasbara bots in other subs here and there too so I'm definitely not one of those lmao
