Looool

China is by force taking international airports in several African countries and so many key installments... It's not an understatement and Tucker is absolutely right, especially on Africa.

China is using force? Where? Evidence please.

It is my feeling that at present, China's "colonization" of Africa is much shrewder and less obviously intrusive than their predecessors that relied on brute force. My impression of BRICS is that it is philosophically opposed to the kind of CIA interventionist, Globohomo, policies of the west, that it seeks international cooperation without hegemony.

The debt trap issue is worth pursuing. The British used debt to establish their power over weaker governments. The best example was in the 19th c when Britain used debt to take control of Egypt. The US used debt throughout the 20th to control allies, clients and rivals, especially through inter-governmental debt. The best explanation of this is Michael Hudson's SUPER IMPERIALISM. If you only ever read one book on economics, make it this one.

Here is a youtube video on it. https://youtu.be/Uiz934HVZjY?t=5

More or less. The IMF and World Bank front the system and formalise arrangements under the pretense of international co-operation.
