The belt is an excuse they use for modern colonization by debts.

Also, this deal is an entry in the EU which I really dislike. I hope the EU will step up it's game against china, too bad that our normal partner currently has an unstable leader. While XI is without a doubt a hard-working leader. Unfortunate, I do not approve their world vision, at all.

There should be a collective effort to put pressure on China to politically reform.

Isn't that up to its citizens? Was there a collective effort to get YOUR country to "politically reform"? Would you appreciate one?
