Congratulations to Indonesia! The high speed train will not only bring physical connectivity to Indonesia but also bring intangible benefit such as optimism to the general population, which will stimulate economical activities.
This news has amused me so much that I can’t stop laughing. My speculation is that this is a very crafty play in which China puts US on the spot and very possibly it ties with Blinken‘s visit. The balloon doesn’t play any spying role but conveys a political message to US implicitly. Let me...
We really cannot say that they are downgraded by looking at the exterior. The juicy and expensive parts tend to be hidden under the hood. I really don’t know how people make a judgement so quickly without knowing the details of these tanks.

IMHO Pakistan’s poor economical development is more to do with its political model rather than whether it is a secular society.

You are wrong or simply lying again. Sri Lanka’s total foreign debt was around $35B, of which 47% or 16B was market borrowing from fund management firms. The data is from Sri Lanka’s Department of External Resource...
You are wrong again. That 47% market borrowing in the form of sovereign bond are held by major Western fund management firms. The top firms are:
* Pacific Investment Management
* BlackRock
* T Rowe Price Group
* AllianceBernstein LP
* Wellington Management Group
* Ashmore

China Development Bank is not commercial bank, it is a state owned development bank that specializes in overseas development projects. Do you know the difference between commercial bank and state development bank?
No, for Broadlands Hydropower Project, 85% of the project funded by credit line...
