Unfortunately the Chinese government has been lending Nations funds for decades knowing they cannot pay it back and ransoming key locations for military use under the guise of helping the locals.
The above information is from Chinese people I know and it's only scratching the surface.
It would be nice if we all curbed our spending, buying local instead.
I understand where you're coming from, and I don't actually think there's a lot to argue with there, I mostly just take issue with the lack of nuance in the statement I first quoted, especially in the context of people buying stuff from Chinese sellers.
At any rate, my response was inappropriately scornful and sarcastic, and for that I apologise.
