The difference is the Chinese create their own companies, Endians parasite off companies built by other people. Natural born leeches.

Cancelled by your mighty Indian media, do you have a brain or it stopped working for a long time?

Agreed, the rules help give potential future leaders experience, so that the nation isn’t dependent on a few people as in Russia right now.

A future leader of China will have to do something about getting BRI really going as well as creating a “soft landing” for China’s demographic problem; more robotics and successfully encouraging people to have more kids through incentives like free housing and childcare/daycare like the Israeli kibbutz model. But also possibly exploring guest worker programs from neighboring friendly nations. Pakistan’s population is set to nearly double in the next 30 years, to nearly 400 million, and it could be a good source of skilled labor in some Chinese factories.

One of the lessons of the war in Ukraine is economic isolation (imports and exports) can undue the domestic market. If China can’t be self-sufficient, it needs friendly nations to be reliable suppliers and export markets. Towards that end, China will have to help “rehabilitate” these countries to maximize their potential, for their own benefit as well as that of China.

North Korea for example, right on China’s border has significant resources and with modernization could be a growing export market for Chinese goods. If North Korea isn’t rehabilitated, it is at risk of collapsing one day and joining South Korea. A thriving North Korea could also be a potential rail corridor to South Korea and Japan, furthering regional integration and increasing Chinese influence on trade, making it more in South Korea and japan’s interests not to challenge Chinese Interests.

Rehabilitation would be a balancing (helping countries become economically competitive, less corrupt, and primed to properly utilize FDI) act, take. On a case by case basis, but if not done, threaten to undermine Chinese influence in friendly nations as the rival camp gears up to counter China across the board and around the world.

Getting countries rehabilitated also includes helping them get out of global sanctions, and would make investing in them more profitable for Chinese investors instead of continuing to invest in Chinese real estate which has diminishing potential ROI. Long term growth of Chinese exports depends on these friendly markets growing, IMHO, not just Chinese companies catching up in key technologies.

Btw, Indian media is spreading rumors all day President Xi is under house arrest by the PLA. Just a FYI.

Impossible to "rehabilitate" countries without colonizing them first.


Free money doesn't make a better country or economy, it just makes more corruption.


The only cure for corruption is the failure of the corrupt when help stops coming.


You can see firsthand that china has gotten absolutely destroyed in soft power by the u.s., which means that the chances of them investing more instead of less abroad is pretty much 0%, as the only thing they got for their subsidized low interest rate loans was democratic populism in more or less every single country sockpuppeted by the u.s. cia/state department.


You got a front row seat for this in Imran Khan.


You should expect less overseas investment in the future and more investment internally instead.


BRI was basically nearly a 100% catastrophic failure with massively negative returns in terms of soft power, hard power, economic growth etc. compared to if they had just invested all of that money into china itself.
