Well duh, it's been known for years that #china 's #ccp #beltandroad #initiative is about #debttrapping small Countries - usually with those accepting the #contracts being #bribed https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. They #bribe #officials to get the #contracts , bring in #chinese #workers instead of #employing locally, build #infrastructure that will never pay off and then take the #land as #payment ....
Looks like the #taliban in #afghanistan is about to become part of #china 's #ccp #beltandroad initiative as they have an estimated $1 trillion in #minerals they need: https://www.dw.com/en/afghanistan-taliba.. The Taliban needs to raise cash and *fast* - so they will except the CCP's offer to build the #infrastructure required. 20 years later and the Taliban #debttraps Afghanistan to China as the cost of the #us and #uk #taxpayer . Fuck.
