  1. Not any better for China, which has its banking sector collapse completely with default rates exceeding 50% in many cities
    22
  2. It's circular investing
    15
  3.  @phantom1076  it literally wasn't, goofball
    12
  4. Of course the EU didn't give the loan. The EU don't do ponzi schemes
    9
  5. Except you vastly underestimate the amount of fraud involved in projected earnings in China
    6
  6. Higher tolls mean fewer drivers
    5
  7.  @SpruceWood-NEG  quit spamming, gong fei
    4
  8. Yes, but will the road last more than a few years?
    4
  9. @user-xu6vx7bh4b  not worth a billion dollars. This is a tiny country with no major cities
    3
  10. You get what you pay for
    3
  11. Because it's not worth the money to build it
    2
  12. @SpruceWood-NEG  it's called loan shark
    2
  13. Because the EU don't do Ponzi schemes
    2
  14. Higher toll = fewer cars
    2
  15.  @Western_Decline  Don't you have a math test to fail, kid?
    2
  16. @mintheman7  this is a toll road, silly. And you don't see the revenue from many roads because it comes from gasoline taxes
    2
  17. Lose the sycophancy. It's overpriced junk
    2
  18. That's silly. This is tiny state with no major cities.
    2
  19.  @calvinblue894  except China can't force payment from Montenegro
    2
  20. They didn't need anything more than they already had
    1
  21. Because they didn't think it would make money. They were right
    1
  22. @user-xu6vx7bh4b  the highway is finished and it is losing money, pendejo
    1
  23. Because they don't do ponzi schemes
    1
  24.  @making-it-rain2128  a zero sum game.
    1
  25. Namely yours, gong-fei
    1
  26. Your opinion is bs
    1
  27. That is not a good thing
    1
  28. No one knows as a lot of the debt was hidden with fraud and it depends how you count @sabyasaci 
    1
  29. Who does that? And even so, you think they'd remove an existiny member just for that?
    1
  30. @thomasswift3563  Greece defrauded the EU to get those numbers and is an extreme example. And the EU isn't going to remove members just for that. They haven't even removed Poland over much more touchy LGBT matters
    1
  31. @thomasswift3563  you seem intent on distorting the image of the EU with selective reporting. Greece does not speak for the EU and even if they did they would be unable to guarantee any loan. The big Europhile states are France, Germany, and the Low Countries and those guys aren't deep in debt
    1
  32. @thomasswift3563  even if that were true, why are you so fixated on it? It's one of many factors whether a state can repay the loan. Also, no one knows China's debt to GDP since all their institutions have been lying for years about their borrowing.
    1
  33. @thomasswift3563  irrelevant even if true, and it was one of many reasons. Every EU member has near-veto power. LGBT, for instance, has an approval rating of zero in the Balkans.
    1
  34. @thomasswift3563  it is connected because there are many in the EU that would reject applications for that reason alone. Also, you have have money to get in the EU because they share banking and money flows from rich states to poor states
    1
  35. You should talk, you failed abortion.
    1
  36. They should've not built it
    1
  37.  @s9ka972  that's silly. The math is if the highway's price outweighs the additional road by another route, people will not use the toll road.
    1
  38.  @s9ka972  India is also the place where people throw down carpets that look like pavement to trick cities into giving them money.
    1
  39. @s9ka972  Montenegro isn't the stereotypical European state. It's remote, tiny, mountainous, and has no major cities. There's simply not a lot of traffic in this location, and this was not a cheap road. Maybe a smaller road would have been profitable
    1
  40. They're only going to get involved if it's profitable
    1
  41. A curious remark since the EU refused to give the loan as they didn't think the investment would pay off. China, however, is one big ponzi scheme
    1
  42. Montenegro isn't involved in that
    1
  43. That would require lying, and they already cover that, gong-fei
    1
  44. @happymelon7129  oh yes, China is freaking out about that to hide how their reactors dump that much radiation into the rivers routinely
    1
  45. The math on public projects is the state should break even in order to be profitable for the country. This will never be profitable
    1
  46.  @stzhang1770  namely you
    1
  47. Exactly @mtrest4 
    1
  48. Interviewing you about anything at all is a waste of time
    1
  49. A curious remark since the trash built in China is only intended to last long enough to take the money and run
    1
  50. BRICS is already defunct, gong-fei.
    1
  51. A lot of those roads are just carpets thrown down to fool the state into giving them money
    1
  52.  @buharisani1428  googling... You're mistaken. These companies are owned by Shandong Hi-Speed Group, a state-run company
    1
  53. The road would also last ten times longer and would have involved local Montenegrin help @xinbozhang7206

  54. Don't you have a math test to fail, kid?

  55.  @Western_Decline  Ask your mother. I'm sure once she thinks about it, she will feel shame and promptly smother you
