$MSFT You're arguing that capitalism is uniquely built to exploit the weak and keep them dependent. But look at communist China's Belt and Road Initiative. They lend billions to poor countries knowing they can't pay it back, funding projects like Sri Lanka's Hambantota Port, Pakistan's Gwadar Port, or massive infrastructure in Djibouti. When the debt hits, China takes long-term operating control over those strategic assets. Beyond just economic dominance, China uses this physical control to project hard power, positioning military and naval assets at these choke points. Using financial leverage and military dominance occurs regardless of economic system.
