[Video] - China condemns gangster Trump bullying & intimidating Panama into frantically withdrawing from China's BRI with immediate effect

But the infrastructure get built right? The port or bridge get built. That the point. Once the port or habour is built , the prosperity will come to town.

If you get a african company to build port, the port will never get built and all $ will be gone and even.the lender also cannot get back the $. No infrastructure built, then no prosperity
If the money created during the boom time of investment is not going to filter into the company and it's people. The money is not well spent.
Now eventually the Port are all taken by the Chinese for failing to pay for the infrastructure investment.

That't nothing created for these 4th World Nation.
 
It already has, with its newly operated giant port in Peru.
The Peru port is to bypass LA and it's congestion and emission rules . US really not bothered to upgrade it's infrastructure.
But Peru is a weird location for a port. Unless China targeting more trade with South America than the North.

Peru serves as a bridge between China and South America. China don't really cares much about North America now.

Do not let pride, ego & delusions cloud your intellect. Humanity MUST live with REALITIES in order to deal with issues & find solutions.

1. China WILL care very much about USA now with tariffs on the horizon. It is China's biggest market, creating MUCH wealth, revenue & jobs to China's citizens, as USA are the biggest consumers in the World alone as a country.


2. Much had been spoken about how BIG China market is, but in reality, many are still living in poverty especially in the country side. They cannot even afford products made in their own country, but make do with whatever resources they have on hand or just without such goods. Only those in cities made fortunes & have better salaries, but they are few compared to its population size, IF data from ANY source are honest...


3. It is the same situation with Latin America. China may find buyers, but it will NOT help the Latin Americans, as such dependence will only curtail their own economic growth. Manufacturing will cease, jobs will fall, unemployment will rise.

Once Aid, charities, social welfare ends as there will be no revenue forthcoming, they will suffer & worse, their arable lands & minerals will be taken over & seized by those whom offered loans, & the crazy thing is that Latin Americans were the ones that helped another country to rise in economy & trade, & yet when such poverty rises, it IS the same funds given that is used to buy up struggling biz enterprises in Latin America, & its resources be used for their own country, with bones left, if any for Latin Americans.....

And the worse is that Latin America is NOT without arable lands & minerals. The political elites will only need to spend more on education, tax concessions, skill upgrading of their citizens, be protectionists & they will see their own economy & lives boom.

4. How to help China rise & be respected Worldwide?......They too are fellow Humans, so too others in other nations, but the insignificant nobody me have no pragmatic idea yet.....nor significant as I doubt even if any would read this post...

i dont talk emotions, i don't talk speculation, i talk facts. Building basic infrastructure bring development, improve economy, its fact.

At 1:50 in this video by DW documentary, the africans themselves confirm the port brought development in the area and it further confirmed by a rise in their property price as the coastal area now create jobs and wealth:

 
Just as CCP China realizes in 1979, when the devil Mao was dethroned, that trade is the lifeblood of Civilizations to prosper & progress, so too the Western World whom had a LONG history on trade & ports...

CCP China may QUIETLY make use of every port in the World for its own political survival to feed its enormous 1.4 billion population size, the West had LONG anticipated such moves with solutions, & are researched files under archives,

While CCP China may one day own ports Worldwide thru gift or guile, it WILL be the CHOKE points & OPEN seas that the Democracies of West that will control, to derive max revenues & survival of Free Nations under wise sovereign nations leadership....

America is not a really big country by population. It thrives only on Financial products, cheap immigrants and real estates like Sinkieland. Why not simply say Americans cannot afford America-made goods, and have to rely heavily on China-made products? Who needs who the most?

Sadly, your outbursts only shows belligerence & short-sightedness, with little signs of your intellect...

1. It is about LABOR COSTS. No American worker would accept a salary of USD400-600/mth, under 9-9-6 conditions that a China worker would accept, to manufacture & produce the kind of goods that China does. There is a civilized standard of living that USA had achieved over centuries.


2. Thus, USA moved on to high value & high income manufacturing & production. However, with American consumers whom bought cheap & of dubious quality goods from China, they had only contributed to the RISE of China. With the revenues earned from American trade, they too had moved on to high tech & high income goods, & worse - copied wholesale from the West, without paying for any innovation, research & development costs.

If such continues, American factories will close down. There will be NO jobs for Americans, which will even lead to poverty that even they can no longer purchase cheap China goods. Even worse, NASA may even have to shut down. Who loses in the end?

It goes the same to every other Nations too, whom had contributed to China's rise.


3. Globalization is a good IDEAL, just like Communism as idealized by Karl Marx. However, such beliefs did not take into anthropology - the study of Human behavior, & thus such are proven failed ideals, & needs to be corrected. None likes protectionism or tariffs as answers, but in the end, it is such that would protect one's economy & jobs for their own citizens-from the technician to the college graduate.

A hegemony country will soon come to its end. It is normal. Just like roman Empire, it rises and then falls when the time comes. Nothing is permanent.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has been advised by government officials to soften his rhetoric related to the Israel-Hamas war to avoid any scrutiny or retaliation from US President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.

The concerns come as Malaysian officials become increasingly worried that Trump could hit the country’s export-driven economy with US tariffs, according to the people, who asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the situation. In particular, they fear the US could take further action against the Southeast Asian nation’s burgeoning semiconductor industry and a raft of AI-powered data center investments, the people said.
