#China #OBOR #OBI #SouthAfrica
China’s interest in South Africa represents a strategic addition to the New Silk Road, sometimes referred to as the One Belt One Road (OBOR ) or One Belt Initiative (OBI). Not only is it a step in the initiative, it also has some natural resources that China would like to access.
"As China has done many times before, they are using a country’s “value” over the cost of the investment. One only needs to look at countries that are indebted to China for funding/backing loans that finance “Infrastructure Projects,” to understand the dynamic."
