China Is a Great Powers Confrontation

I think this is really about a great powers confrontation. They see China as competition. If you ask countries in Africa or other developing nations, if they prefer Chinese or Western loans going back to Chinese finance lending again, they usually say Chinese loans.

That way it can break China apart into smaller ethnic enclaves that are just fighting among themselves.
