I keep seeing claims that these programs give the U.S. "soft power," but all I see is a bunch of ungrateful thirdies blaming America for all their problems and claiming to be self sufficient while also complaining about the gibs stopping.

People are so concerned with "soft power" while china is in these countries giving out billions of dollars of loans and building infrastructure so they can control them with the "hard power" of bottomless debt for the next 200 years

Lol nah states are sovereign ultimately debt is a worthless paper if state decides. What can China do if the country is unable to pay? Nothing.

Really all you can do with sovereign states is build goodwill and hope it works out.

Lol what? States have credit scores too. The same reason you gotta pay your bills as a person, countries have to pay their bills too, or else they might get denied loans.

Why do you think BRI is mostly contained to states with terrible credit scores lol? China thought it'd score a point by investing in markets other financiers refused to serve but this was done by politicians running roughshod over actual concerns over repayment. Most Chinese loans come at higher interest rates than equivalents from WDB/ADB, only reason to take one is you can't get them from those agencies.

They have been taking constant Ls on those investments for a while now. You know who else is a major investor in a lot of these countries? Japan. How much international influence does Japan have lol?

Now ultimately even $100B isn't that much for China over a decade. They have to combat US for influence across world now that it has turned somewhat hostile to them and this is a necessary spend for that. But it isn't some ez way to establish global dominion lol.

They can just go for infinite restructuring. When's the last time a country really defaulted? Unable to import fuel, food, meds? It'd be immediately declared a humanitarian crisis and funds would flow lol. Like it happened with Sri Lanka recently.

Margins will be devastated by cost of security apparatus. Mines are hundreds of kms in the middle of nowhere how easy do you think running them will be in a scenario where the entire population sees you as colonizers. Every truck will have to be in a convoy, staff will have to be guarded 24/7 and there will still be casualties. Mining is as it is fairly low margin affair even in ideal conditions. Lots of mines go under when prices slump. Kind of like oil.

Its just not realistic in current year. And besides, western fear mongering aside, Chinx actually do have socialist moralism. It won't fly with their own pop. Check some of the recent movies they've made about Chink supersoldiers fighting terrorists and their yt sponsors in ME/Africa, they see themselves as yellow saviours. They don't have stomach for empire outside what they think are their historical lands. Yet.

South Africa is one of the worst of them all because one, South Africa isn't an actual third world country that needs this level of assistance. It's just woefully corrupt (even by thirdie standards). They could pay for this shit themselves if their government stopped stealing.

And two, South Africa joined an economic bloc with China and Russia while the former was performing military drills around Taiwan (US ally) and the latter was invading Ukraine (another US ally). If all these gibs can't even stop you from joining an economic alliance with our two biggest geopolitical rivals who are constantly threatening our allies, then no actual "soft power" is being cultivated and SA is literally just scamming us for free healthcare.

BRICS is an excellent point. Also the fact that China is probably buying more of South Africa's raw material exports, not the US. Even if you were two accept the argument from the second link that PEPFAR is keeping South African workers healthy, the farmer in Idaho isn't securing John Deere's supply lines, but China's. And since Canada is the world's largest aluminum exporter, that's where US importers are buying it from anyway.

The drug funding isn't paying them and they buy drugs.

Low-income countries are exempt from drug patents and 3rd countries can manufacture them on their behalf. State department pays pharma to add n% capacity to their existing lines in the US and produce drugs for those countries at the same time they produce drugs for those who pay for them. Like food aid its actually a gibs program for burgers.

Take up the White Man's burdenβ€” 
    Send forth the best ye breedβ€” 
Go bind your sons to exile
  To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness
 On fluttered folk and wildβ€”
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
  Half devil and half child. 

Take up the White Man's burdenβ€” 
    In patience to abide
To veil the threat of terror
    And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
    An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit,
    And work another's gain. 

Take up the White Man's burdenβ€”
    The savage wars of peaceβ€”
Fill full the mouth of famine
    And bid the sickness cease; 
And when your goal is nearest
    The end for others sought,
Watch Sloth and heathen Folly
    Bring all your hopes to nought.

Take up the White Man's burdenβ€”
    No tawdry rule of kings, 
But toil of serf and sweeperβ€” 
    The tale of common things. 
The ports ye shall not enter, 
    The roads ye shall not tread, 
Go make them with your living, 
    And mark them with your dead! 

Take up the White Man's burdenβ€”
    And reap his old reward, 
The blame of those ye better, 
    The hate of those ye guardβ€” 
The cry of hosts ye humour 
    (Ah slowly!) toward the lightβ€” 
"Why brought ye us from bondage, 
    "Our loved Egyptian night?" 

Take up the White Man's burdenβ€”
    Ye dare not stoop to lessβ€” 
Nor call too loud on Freedom 
    To cloak your weariness; 
By all ye cry or whisper, 
    By all ye leave or do, 
The silent sullen peoples 
    Shall weigh your Gods and you. 

Take up the White Man's burdenβ€”
    Have done with childish daysβ€” 
The lightly proffered laurel, 
    The easy, ungrudged praise. 
Comes now, to search your manhood 
    Through all the thankless years, 
Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom, 
    The judgement of your peers.
