What is the News?<\/b><\/h2>\n

India\u2019s G20 Sherpa has said that China must agree to take a <\/span>haircut<\/span><\/a> on its loans to poor countries and assist their economic recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n

How much do low-income countries owe to China?<\/b><\/h2>\n

China is lending to most of the countries under the Belt and Road Initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n

The world’s low-income countries owe 37% of their debts to China in 2022, compared to just 24% in bilateral debts to the rest of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those with the highest external debt to China are Pakistan, Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya and Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why has the US criticized China\u2019s lending policy?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The US sees China\u2019s lending practices as debt-trap diplomacy<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Debt-trap diplomacy is when a richer country lends to poorer countries \u2013 that are resource-rich or strategically placed \u2013 overwhelming them with debts that are not sustainable. This leads the poorer countries to give up their strategic assets or give in to political leverage.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, China has rejected this criticism and calls it “propaganda\/narrative of the vested interested countries” to tarnish its image.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
