US Africom leader gets pissy. Also, Kenya ditches the US dollar for oil purchases Local news outlets and external analysts have frequently analogized the collateralization of the Mombasa port to the Sri Lankan Hambantota International Port, in which Sri Lanka ceded the port to China in order to repay its loans. This comparison fits into a broader accusation of the PRC's "debt-trap" diplomacy, which some analysts label as a form of neocolonialism.[3][4][32] Specifically, the Daily Nation and the Standard, two major Kenyan news companies, have numerous articles centred on the theme of debt-trap diplomacy, and the Kenyan public is generally more critical of Chinese mega-projects than the government.[4] Some critics also posit that it fits into a larger trend of Chinese loans in Africa. For example, Djibouti might also allegedly cede its port to China with its extreme levels of debt, Zambia could similarly cede its national broadcasting network and its Lusaka International Airport, and Tanzania has compounded its already substantial debt to Beijing with the $10 billion needed for the Bagamoyo port.[3] However, other analysts also emphasize that there is no "one-size-fits-all" understanding of all African countries, pointing to South Africa and Nigeria as examples of countries that successfully leveraged Chinese loans for much-needed infrastructural and economic development.[3] On average, African countries still owe more to multilateral institutions such as the World Bank and IMF than China,[33] and debt owed to more Western-oriented institutions has existed for far longer and has had similar levels of debt and resource exploitation.[5] According to an IMF report, Chinese aid and infrastructure projects on average lead to slight positive socioeconomic impacts for its host countries, but there is conflicting evidence as to whether these results apply to African countries.[34] Ian Taylor, co-editor of the Journal of Modern African Studies, highlights that sovereign guarantees are not unusual in other bilateral financial institutions, and posits that an actual takeover of the Kenyan port seems unlikely, since China would be wary to take over a financially "loss-making enterprise" as well as compromise its international reputation.[5] Maddalena Procopio, another analyst on China-Africa relations, cautions against overly dismissing Kenyan agency in negotiations, and emphasizes that the Kenyan government has itself actively sought and initiated these BRI projects as well as historically pushed back against disadvantageous Chinese investments.[18] In 2018, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta banned Chinese fish imports in response to public outcry over the unregulated importation of fish from China with Kenyan fishermen lamenting on how the foreign fish had flooded markets. In response, the Chinese government threatened to completely pull funding for the SGR project as well as to impose trade sanctions.[35] The Kenyan government soon after lifted the ban of Chinese fish imports, which attracted further criticism of debt-diplomacy from local media.[36] In February 2021, China postponed $245 million of Kenyan debt repayments for 6 months, a week after the Paris Club had offered similar relief, as the country struggles with the economic impact of COVID-19.[37] |

Watch this classic conspiracy video when you have time; it’s extremely long, but you will never look at our military the same way ever again.
