"Uneasy Streets: How Chinese Money Is Remaking Urban Britain" by Caroline Knowles who "contrasts Beijing’s grand claims with ramshackle physical evidence at street level: a series of half-finished buildings & abandoned holes in the ground. & this isn’t just a UK phenomenon. All along the Belt & Road network, Chinese-funded cities are patchworks of incompleteness, products of relentlessly profit-driven urbanism that puts people last."

'the rise of private-sector investments also underscored the global competitiveness of China’s cleantech industry and the growing maturity of its technologies. The BRI has been criticised over a raft of issues including the creation of unsustainable debt obligations, especially in Africa and other parts of the developing world, as well as concerns over opaque credit and loan terms...Despite such criticisms, the first-half data showed that African countries retained a keen interest in the BRI, with Chinese investments in the region nearly tripling year-on-year'

Opinion Voices | Contributor: Despite being overrun by businessmen, D.C. is anything but business as usual by Veronique de Rugy
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The article argues that a wave of venture‑capital and tech entrepreneurs now embedded in the Trump administration—such as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, former IPO leader Michael Grimes, and the head of the U.S. International Development Finance Corp.—are mistakenly treating government like a private‑sector investment firm. While they bring market‑savvy expertise, they overlook the fundamental differences between profit‑driven businesses and political institutions, which lack clear price signals, profit incentives, and personal accountability. By insulating themselves from the consequences of bad bets and using billions of taxpayer dollars for “strategic” investments, they risk repeating the same misallocation and cronyism that a free market would punish. The piece warns that replacing market discipline with political decision‑making—whether to cut waste or fund large‑scale projects—will inevitably damage the economy, regardless of who runs the government.

US capitulation of soft power is a gift for Xi. Playing the long game gets easier when your main opponent morphs into a rotating clown show, stumbling from crisis to chaos.
At first China brings roads, then the belt slowly tightens around each country's neck. When loans can't be repaid, China takes control of critical infrastructure like ports. It's all carefully planned and executed over decades.
Fifty to one hundred years hence, a history student reading that the USA was once a great empire will say, "What, that shithole?"
And China will rule the world.

China's role as a leading financier to developing nations has shifted, with new loans to poorer countries falling sharply while debt repayments continue to rise, according to analysis. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/27/economy/african-money-china-loans/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #china #africa #debt #beltandroad
China's Foreign Policy might be the most reasonable way in history for a peripheral economy to become a global superpower:
"China’s flagship overseas infrastructure finance programme the Belt and Road Initiative increased by three-quarters to a record $213.5bn in 2025 as Beijing sought to take advantage of wavering US influence around the world by pouring funding into development projects.
The surge in new investment and construction deals was dominated by gas megaprojects and green power, according to research by Australia’s Griffith University and the Green Finance & Development Center in Shanghai. Beijing signed 350 deals last year, up from 293 worth $122.6bn in 2024.
The boom in investment comes as tensions between the US and China over trade and technology disrupt supply chains and President Donald Trump’s military interventions roil global energy markets.
Christoph Nedopil Wang, a China energy and finance expert at Griffith University and the study’s author, predicted that Beijing’s spending on the BRI would grow further this year, driven by investments in energy, mining and new technology.
“Global trade and investment volatility will potentially spur further investment for supply chain resilience and alternative export markets for Chinese companies,” he said.
The BRI, launched months after Xi Jinping came to power in 2012, is the Chinese leader’s hallmark foreign development programme, seeking to deepen Beijing’s economic influence and trade ties with the developing world. It has made China the world’s largest bilateral creditor, with 150 countries as BRI partners.
Last year’s figures brought the total cumulative value of BRI contracts and investments since its launch to $1.4tn, the study found.
The growth in 2025 was driven by multibillion-dollar megaprojects..."

🔴 Xi Avoids Backing Iran as Trump Pressure Grows
🔸 Iran is China’s top oil partner but <1% of China’s total trade. Refiners cut Iranian crude imports.
🔸 Beijing fears U.S. entry into wider war may threaten energy flows—45% of crude crosses Hormuz.
🔸 Nationalist voices warn Iran’s collapse would endanger Belt & Road and China-Pakistan Corridor.
