The debt they owed to the IMF π https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/imf-ethiopia-reach-staff-level-agreement-first-review-loan-program-2024-09-27/
Oh you mean where actual western debt trap was happening?
No it wouldn't, but I'm not expecting any sort of intellectual integrity from you here.
sure buddy
do you understand how money works? you know it's fungible, right?
even in your cartoon world, china is a member of the imf
and even if they weren't, the largest share of single-source debt was from china
i guess it's easier to defend a worldview if you just like...make stuff up?
said the person who cherry picked like 3 things to respond to, despite spending most of their life accusing others of cherry picking, and responded to them by making stuff up
okay let's pretend it's relevant
selling it services and equipment now absolves a country of guilt
wow, looks like the us is absolved of guilt to a comical degree
Unlike you, I do understand how money and debt works. The discussion is about debts issued by China and their long term impact, which every study shows to be positive. I guess it's easier to make a clown of yourself in public than actually learn about the subject you're attempting to debate.
except the ones you just linked, i guess?
you must have been very unlucky when picking which sources to show me :(
you know people (other people, not me, i'm here for serious discussion exclusively) only keep you off their blocklist because it's really funny watching the fediverse e-clown ply their trade every day, right?
The ones I linked provide a contrast between Chinese lending and IMF lending, but clearly that was too complex of an idea for you to grasp.
I just vastly overestimated your intellectual capacity.
I'd be so insulted by that if I had a shred of respect for you.
again, even in your cartoon world, china is a member of the imf
also you clearly haven't read your sources very recently, because that's not the picture they paint
this is such a reddit tier insult i love it
China being a member of the IMF doesn't mean China runs the IMF or makes decisions for it. Learn how the IMF works instead of making clown of yourself here. The most hilarious part is that you're too ignorant to realize how much of a clown you are.
as a reddit brain you'd know
if the imf is such a corrupt organization, why is china willingly a member?
you really come crawling back to me just to call me a clown again? why are your insults all "clown" or "i'm rubber your glue"?
why are your insults all "clown" or "i'm rubber your glue"?
Because China participates in world trade. Again, learn about the subjects you're trying to opine on that you're quite obviously have no clue about. Absolutely hilarious how you keep doubling down on documenting what an utter ignoramus you are. π
so china has surpassed the us, but it's the one being forced into corrupt organizations it would rather not be a member of?
yes this makes sense
Literally why China has been establishing alternative organizations. The ones that all the research I linked shows to be actually helping countries. Try to put at least a bit of effort into your trolling. This is just so embarrassing.
except what you linked literally didn't show that
that's kind of why we're all the way down here
No that's not why we're down here, we're down here because you have poor reading comprehension and misrepresented what the links said. Given that you are just here to troll, I don't see much point continuing. Enjoy having the last word that you so desperately crave.
cool, quote it
