  1. Chinese debt is mostly internal debt... They have very little external sovereign debt India with a younger workforce, larger workforce, and lower wages as of 2022 had a 100 billion dollar trade deficit with China ASEAN countries economies are dominated by their ethnic Chinese minorities & their corporations. And ASEAN countries are dependent on the Chinese economy itself

  2. Through the damming of the Mekong, China is using what has been termed “hydro-diplomacy” to exert control over Southeast Asia, bringing the threat of further economic and environmental ruin to its southern neighbors. With China’s dams in the Yunnan province alone, China can withhold some 47 million cubic meters of water from flowing downstream. DavidsPoliticalReview

  3. What chemicals are you talking about? China dominates the production of essential ingredients that go into making the world's pharmaceuticals drugs. As it has up to 400,000 drug Labs. What people don't get is this decoupling narrative is really about getting more and better access into the Chinese domestic markets. Thats because they just became the wealthiest nation. Surpassing the USA a few years ago. Who wouldn't want to try and get at their citizens high savings rates. It's the you can't sell to our people if we can't sell to yours. Problem is western nations are broke and getting old. That's why China is concentrating on its belt and road partners

  4. In a 1995 study published by the East Asia Analytical Unit of Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, approximately 73 percent of the market capitalization value of publicly listed companies (excluding foreign and state-owned companies) were owned by Chinese Indonesians. Additionally, they owned 68 percent of the top 300 conglomerates and nine of the top ten private sector groups at the end of 1993.[166] This figure propagated the general belief that ethnic Chinese—then estimated at 3 percent of the population—controlled 70 percent of the economy.[167][168][169] Although the accuracy of this figure was disputed, it was evident that a wealth disparity existed along ethnic boundaries. The image of an economically powerful ethnic Chinese community was further fostered by the government through its inability to dissociate itself from the patronage networks.[170] The Hokchia group dominated the ethnic Chinese business scene during the Suharto government, although other groups emerged after 1998.[85] The top five conglomerates in Indonesia prior to the 1997 Asian financial crisis—the Salim Group, Astra International, the Sinar Mas Group, Gudang Garam, Sampoerna and the Lippo Group—were all owned by ethnic Chinese, with annual sales totaling Rp112 trillion (US$47 billion).

  6. @k.k.c8670 That’s because China hasn’t cut off the water flow… where they have seen the effects when there is a dry season. They are just extrapolating from that
