    The debt they owed to the IMF

    do you understand how money works? you know it’s fungible, right?

    Oh you mean where actual western debt trap was happening?

    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?

    any sort of intellectual integrity from you here

    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

    sure buddy

    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.

          you must have been very unlucky when picking which sources to show me :(

          I just vastly overestimated your intellectual capacity.

          you know people only keep you off their blocklist because it’s really funny watching the fediverse e-clown ply their trade every day, right?

          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

            I’d be so insulted by that if I had a shred of respect for you.

            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.

                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”?

                  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. 👏

                    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
