#6 ...and frustration at Beijing’s position on granting debt relief to fight against the outbreak.

If these guys were smart (big if, I know) they'd band together and stiff China on all that debt. The US should join them or just start the trend.

#7 "China has spent untold billions in Africa since its emergence as a global power,"

I love how China spent billions yet Europeans are always said to have stolen billions from Africa, robbing them of their rightful place in the world.

Well, it's a bad idea to rubbish our Treasury notes. As the chinks need cash they have to sell them, we can make sure it's at a painful discount. And then we can stop letting them buy more. It will hurt our politicians spend spend spend asses, but that's coming anyway.
