Topic: The Chinese debt trap

Anonymous A started this discussion 12 hours ago #133,574

People say that China is putting African countries in debt traps by building infrastructure projects on loans African countries won’t pay back. But if you compare Japan’s debt to GDP ratio to every country in Africa…

Forget about ratios, compare the absolute number of how much debt Japan is in vs the entire continent of Africa.

Yet people say Africa will never develop because they are crippled by debt.

Would you rather live in Japan or any country in Africa?

Well, I’ve been thinking about going to Africa but I don’t have plans to go to Japan.

At least in terms of the geopolitical situation, I want to stay away from Europe and Asia right now. Africa seems more stable.

It sounds like you never leave your country, but you can check tourism stats to see what the world thinks.

Last I checked the world’s largest war is in Europe.

And people still choose to vacation there over Africa! 🤣

Honestly given the way things are going in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, I wouldn’t be shocked at all if China invaded Taiwan. Africa has conflict obviously, but if world war three broke out, it might be better to be in Africa than in Europe, or Asia.
