  1. That's the common tactic used by western media to distort public opinions. Against your rival, any small little thing that went wrong is amplified 1000 times by using emotive language and visuals, while you don't talk about anything good they did or if you do, minimise it until it sounds blasé or even twist it until it sound wrong. Anything wrong that you did is also minimized, even making it sound like it is a necessary evil or you were actually trying to achieve some other objective so this evil thing is a sacrifice. Anything good, no matter how small, is maximized to a million times to make yourself look like you are better than the second coming of Jesus.

  2.  @lydiawhitting5406  LOL that's what you have been hearing from western media. Nearly all the projects that China has done with the Belt and Road Initiatives have been tremendous help to the countries who participate. They get roads, ports, basic infrastructure, like electricity and hospitals that can uplift their people out of poverty. These infrastructure are also built according to the country's needs, not the needs of the MNC to extract resources. The fact is that what you described is exactly what the west has done to Africa but China is doing the opposite, so you are fed these lies by your own media. The debt trap diplomacy is made up and came out almost altogether at the same time, showing a coordinated information warfare against China by the west collectively. China has not confiscated anything nor can they do that nor have the desire to, they have not pressured anyone to take the loans they don't want, they did not deliberately give out loans knowing they can't be paid off, and they have always refinanced the loans if the loaners ran into difficulties. That's why the US government is panicking trying to rein in China's BRI by attempting to bring their own initiative online... and failing miserably because it was obvious to everyone it is just a counter to China and not serious project and the amount offer is often insultingly small, and all they talk about is China China China and nothing about the interests of the locals. It's insincere and patronizing and insulting. That's why the the Summit of the Americas failed miserably because the US treated all the American countries like they are under its boots, and you think people have no dignity and self-respect. For the US, there is only I dominate, and you submit. Fact is China's cooperation is always based on a win-win mentality that benefits all sides. They get access to a new market, the countries get help they desperately need. Recent polls across the Global South have shown that people view China generally favorably despite western information warfare. You just don't like that China is actually helping, and winning the hearts and minds of the Global South.

  3. The US did that for Europe through the Marshall Plan. But American policy makers are ultimately still racists, so they don't give a shit about developing the Global South, except to dominate and extract resources to feed western industries. What they want is Europe market, and resources from everywhere.

  4.  @theredmenace6428  No, not really. That will be like saying Puerto Rico is a country or the French Guiana is a country.

  5.  @CS-wn5lv  Because YT actively shadow censor stuff and you will never know exactly what their standards. You know, doing the exact same thing that the west love to accuse China of doing. I just copy it here: The US did that for Europe through the Marshall Plan. But American policy makers are ultimately still racists, so they don't give a shit about developing the Global South, except to dominate and extract resources to feed western industries. What they want is Europe market, and resources from everywhere.

  7.  @lrdhanshu7136  Thank you, I tried but practically speaking, it is impossible to break the media bubble. When you live in a world where all the media tell you that black is actually white, it doesn't matter if your own eyes can see it for yourself, or the minority of people who tell you the truth. Add to confusion, are useless bullshit opinions that says black is just another shade of white, or black is not even a color, or white and black are really the same colors. Or that red is actually the real black and blue is the real white. Anything to never let Americans (and Europeans) able to focus on the real issues, the real problems. Confusion, divide, and conquer. I used to lived in America, so I know how pervasive and nefarious their media really is. Americans are trapped in an Orwellian dystopia of constant information manipulation to the point they are either fanatics, completely confused or demoralized to the point of little resistance. They have freedom of speech and freedom of press, which are basically hijacked by their wealthy elites to control their minds and make sure they will never rise. The real freedom they have, is freedom to be manipulated and exploited.
