For those who talks about evil East must read Jhon Perkins Economic Hitman and they will find China innocent.

That only means that the US DOES rely on economic hitmen, it doesn't necessarily mean China does NOT have economic hitmen.

The World Bank already exists and China was the second largest borrower from it between 2013-2018. Read that again, it's not a mistake. At a time when China was booming and loaning out money on the OBOR, they were simultaneously the second largest borrower from the World Bank. So what are they really doing with OBOR?
