Here are two articles, with several examples of how China is using the BRI as a tool to put other countries in its debt.

It's a capitalistic economic colonialism. They've learned so much from the west. They must be so proud to have completely abandoned communism in favor of capitalism.
Found the CCP bootlicking stooge.
You're right, reddit DOES seem to be leaking idiots!
@AreaSix
Not long ago, the Albanian PM made similar remarks about the BRI, in Kenya you can see negative effects on workers' rights and Kenya's economic policy, Pakistan has already been an example why the project so badly fails some time ago.
China has been bailing out its own banks as the 'partner countries' could not pay their debts anymore given the partners could not benefit from their BRI projects. And the conditions for these bail-outs are far worse than what the IMF would charge in similar circumstances. While the IMF interest rates are 2%, China charges 5%.
You'll find much more information on the web. There is plenty of evidence.
