Um, what business does China have in Afghanistan?
I mean, is there even a token justification given to this or is the Chinese government just openly saying that the land is theirs for conquest? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nice, I wish everyone involved in this infrastructure project well. It is great to see a major economic power using their strength to build and develop rather than to wreak havoc and destruction.

It's a scam. Google "debt trap diplomacy" and what people from Sri Lanka to Africa have to say about it. The South China Morning post would of course have no bad thing to say about it. 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. brestugo posted...

Um, what business does China have in Afghanistan? PRC is not the USA. Road & Belt is a win-win, China invests massively in Afghanistan's infrastructure (roads, hospitals, etc.) which benefits both countries.

Google a bunch of MSM article repeating each other? LOLLast I'll say - since I don't want to further line your pockets - in a country like Eritrea, local assemblies do most of the work. It's one of the only ways a multi-ethnic society in Africa can function. The election of local assemblies in Eritrea have been judged free and fair by the international community. No such statement can be made for China. Eritrea is an emerging democracy. Not perfect, not full by any standard though. --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb. ...

No such statement can be made for China. China's democracy is actually pretty interesting and revolutionary: Since taking power in 1978, Deng Xiaoping experimented with direct democracy at the local level. Villages have been traditionally the lowest level of government in China's complicated hierarchy of governance. In the early 1980s, a few southern villages began implementing "Vote for your Chief" policies, in which free elections are intended to be held for the election of a village chief, who holds a lot of power and influence traditionally in rural society. Many of these multi-candidate elections[19] were successful, involving candidate debates, formal platforms, and the initiation of secret ballot boxes Under the Organic Law of Village Committees, all of China's approximately 1 million villages are expected to hold competitive, direct elections for sub-governmental village committees. A 1998 revision to the law called for improvements in the nominating process and enhanced transparency in village committee administration. The revised law also explicitly transferred the power to nominate candidates to villagers themselves, as opposed to village groups or CCP branches. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Last I'll say - since I don't want to further line your pockets - in a country like Eritrea, local assemblies do most of the work. It's one of the only ways a multi-ethnic society in Africa can function. Bullshit. https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/11/06/the-country-thats-never-had-an-election/ For the past 20 years, since the country was formally recognized by the international community on May 24, 1993, Eritrea has been ruled by President Isais Afwerki (pictured above) and the Peoples Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ). After an initially promising start toward democratization, the Isaias regime became insular and repressive. Over the years the ailing President Isaias has become exceedingly paranoid about losing control. The country has yet to hold an election, and its 1997 constitution, which recognizes universal human rights, remains suspended. Post proof that "election of local assemblies in Eritrea have been judged free and fair by the international community". Eritrea is an emerging democracy. Not perfect, not full by any standard though. LOL @ calling a one party state an "emerging democracy". --- Hello ... Copied to Clipboard!
