      Africa.

      China is mining Africa. They lend money to local governments, make them build infrastructure to mine natural resources, and then let the countries spiral into never ending debt.

      One could argue that it’s money used to invest in local production, but the real cash is making stuff from raw resources (In China). Also the fact it’s China lending the money and taking mineral rights and infrastructure as collateral is, well, colonialism.

      Examples: Kenya, Zambia.
