Fair do's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ain't building a huge military because they are scared. They are in the process of shrinking the PLA by 1/3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask Malaysia, China built their port , couldn't afford the repayment and China said no sweat, we own now. Malaysia now warning countries not to do biz with China, same thing with two ports in Australia, Same in Africa same in US same in S. America and Mexico. Go figure, just saying! CCP anyone? Stop spreading disinformation! Malaysia has given the green light to resume construction of the high speed train which stopped due to Covid.

dastakantattaka Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 On 5/27/2020 at 12:42 AM, pegman said: China will soon be the largest economy on earth. Better they gain influence by building and financing infrastructure rather than dropping bombs like the Americans did in this region not that long ago. Prior to the pandemic Cambodia and Laos were booming because of Chinese investment. 1. How soon? 1 month? 5 years? 10 years? One can't even predict the pricies of oil for the next month. 2. You've never heard of Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Tibet, Taiwan, inner Mongolia, for instance, and how peacefull China behaves there? 3. Or jibuti, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, South China Sea where China, by building infrastructure initially, has ended up building military bases? 4. Yeah, Cambodia and Laos were booming. China came and gave them money for free, asking for nothing in return. Likewise, people are also booming when they take credits in the banks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
