KomradeX posted:This song is rad as gently caress, but I always felt that American claims of Soviet pilots in North Vietnam to be cope cause they couldn't believe 1) they lost and 2) non white people beat them There is, was and likely always will be zero evidence that Soviet pilots ever flew combat missions over Vietnam. So I mean it could have happened maybe but what's much more likely is that the Soviets simply trained the Vietnamese pilots. It's pure racism in other words. There's no reason why Vietnamese people if properly trained cannot be as effective pilots as anyone else.

Cao Ni Ma posted:A friend sounded really angry about how you dont own land in china, since you lease it for like 80 year stints or whatever and Im like wtf do you care my dude. How long do you expect to live. Even if you lease it at 20 do you expect to live till you are over a hundred? You got diabetes, you smoke a pack a day and are overweight. For Americans property is literally the only wealth you can theoretically accumulate at this point. Seeing a country limit that is, to them, cutting them off from the last bit of intergenerational wealth they could ever hope to see. drat bro you're an ik now grats

Every single project will pass through incompetent American private contractors with the worst cost efficiency on Earth. Practically nothing of value will be created but this will be a great opportunity for legislators to invest in those companies and get lobbying donations from them.

Also im sure that like 4/5 of the projects they target will be in countries that have natural resources that we need and we'll force to privatize like a 75/25 stake in our benefit.

The us is like that old ex con character. He knows he's gonna die if he doesn't get his poo poo together but he just can't stop himself from trying to get over on absolutely everybody. This initiative absolutely began life as "China is going to be the only relevant superpower in 30 years if we don't come up with a competing proposal and STOP TRYING TO RIP EVERYBODY OFF" and this is where it ended up

Let's be clear, China's motivations re: foreign development and investment are very unlikely to be altruistic. That they are better than the US's current offer is obvious, though.

This is a weird question but like, is china in a labor crunch? If offering capital loans at basically 0 interest is a good deal for them, that'd imply that there's not better uses for the capital within china. Or maybe it's a soft power thing, I'm real dumb.

If offering capital loans at basically 0 interest is a good deal for them, that'd imply that there's not better uses for the capital within china. Or maybe it's a soft power thing, I'm real dumb. China earns goodwill and gets to trade as a primary partner with places that didn't have the infrastructure to exploit their riches. Lots of places in Africa and Asia (and South America too thinking of it) have tremendous resource reserves unexplored because the infrastructure necessary to make them available require massive levels of aggregate investment. This is where one of the biggest ironies of capitalism lie: it would certainly be a productive and profitable enterprise, but in doing so would require doing a level of general development that is contradictory to imperial exploitation. The Chinese, having lived with that in their recent historical memory (and being Marxists), understand that putting their capital to that benefit has an actual greater general gain than going for a straightforward one-sided exploitative deal. Opening new sources and avenues of important resources into international trade means establishing redundancies for economic supply, besides giving much bigger problems for CIA shenanigans. Bauxite supply is going down? Oh dear, that might be troublesome. Guinea gets couped and Australia is hostile to China? No problem, says the CPC, Kazakhstan has a good enough reserve of it, Cameroon and other West African states too, Jamaica has a good supply... While the usual order of things for the liberal countries in the cold war was to must have the largest, biggest supplier country, what must make the BRI so incredibly maddening to the USA government is that the CPC simply goes "oh well" and moves on to the next interested party.

As well as other replies to this, note that China is currently in a mission to reduce the effects of pollution on their population. A lot of extractive and initial-processing activity is unavoidably polluting. So, despite having the capability, labour, and demand to do a lot of it in-country, there is the overall desire to move parts of it elsewhere if possible / advantageous. Yes this is what the west did to China for many years why do you ask.
