The South China Morning post would of course have no bad thing to say about it. Politics in Africa are complicated to say the least. Eritrea is a one party state but there are still local elections. They are considered free and fair. Eritrea is by definition an emerging democracy. And capitalist. Google a bunch of MSM article repeating each other? LOL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt-trap_diplomacy The term "debt-trap diplomacy" was coined by Brahma Chellaney to allege China's predatory lending practices in which poor countries would be overwhelmed with unsustainable loans and would be forced to cede control of strategic assets to China. The term was first used in 2017; within 12 months it had quickly spread through the media, intelligence circles, and Western governments. It has since expanded to include other parts of the world and was further defined and expanded upon in the context of Chinese geostrategic interests in a 2018 Harvard University report. Princeton University published an article disputing the term and quoted a March 2018 report released by the Center for Global Development, that contradicts the theory as the paper concludes that between 2001 and 2017, China had restructured or waived loans for 51 debtor nations, the majority of BRI participants, without seizing state assets. brestugo posted...

LMAO, from your very own article: There have not been national elections in Eritrea since independence in 1993 Speaking of local elections, you do know that China has them too right?
