I know, right? China with their (checks notes) building bridges, rail, ports, 5G networks, etc.

Oh, the huge manatee.

That was all entirely altruistic? Then it must be coincidental that it sounds exactly like the infrastructure the Brits built in India (minus the 5G), whose sole purpose was wealth extraction.

Of course it isn’t all entirely altruistic. Theoretical bases of China’s “win-win” foreign policy concept

The railways China is building mostly runs between cities.

The railways Britain built went directly from the mines and farms to the ports.
