Because its not about developing the world lol. I'm not pro American like you either, let me be clear, but its hilarious people think a new master would be different than the old so they cheerlead and palm palm for stuff like "BRICS" and CCP.
China knows just like every nation that resources in the future are going to be hard to come by. China is easily the biggest buyers of most commodities and will have to keep up that pace of consumption. Climate change makes this a tough proposition but the BRI is a good way to lock up other country's resources as a cache.
see, what China is learning that the USA had to learn...was that unless you're dropping bodies, no one respects you.
Thats why all Russia can do is hand out AK's to developing nations and use that leverage to back up dictators.
So china can slide in after the USA has laid shyt down...or Russia has... and China doesn't give a flying fukk about civil rights, which these anti-American types SHOULD care about, especially tribal and sexual minorities. etc.
Look, the USA has TONS of problems. I've made most of the more in-depth threads on here about this...but the world ain't fukking sweet and people gotta admit the type of world they wanna live in.
Fine, you don't wanna submit to the USA. I get it. Europe did you dirty. I get it...but unless Africa wants to stand on their own two, accepting a bad deal from Russia or a worse one from the Chinese... they're just fukking delusional cutting off their nose to spite their faces.
Look at what China did to Jamaica. Jamaica did NOT benefit from that shyt...but the USA didn't do it so everyone is silent.
