We all clapped again: “Look at the great work China is doing in Africa & Latin America. They’re building railways, bridges, roads, factories & creating millions of jobs. They’re providing capital & loans to businesses there” “Truly, China is a force for good”.../4

Then we woke up!
“Look, they’ve built islands in the South China Sea & claimed it as Chinese waters”
