Well, on the scale of pure bs to holy writ, where exactly does this fall? Wh6 5s beh5nd Ch5na "Uncensored(?)" (by whom and for whom?), what is their agenda, who pays for it, and what are they really selling?

It is an interesting "narrative" with some juicy tidbits. And, poor Thomas, and evil Sir Topham hat building that simply awful and clearly inferior British trains....just awful. Tsk tsk, Thomas!

This kind of narrative sounds a lot like something one more often sees or hears on Faux or RT.... And, that is why I still mostly rely on source like YouTube for entertainment and train videos, not necessarily unbiased journalism (although Kurdish English language TV has some of the best Iraq coverage...).

And then, there are those "evil" Chinese, engaged in that "evil" conspiracy to loan some of these countries billions of dollars to modernize things like railways, roads, electricity, telecommunications, and irrigation in the part of the African continent that has long poor countries that have finally been seeing annual real growth in GDP growth of up to 10% for the last decade, or so.....? Obviously, bloodsucking capitalist pigs.....or complete fools, right? So based on this clearly well focused and unbiased analysis, which is it?

And, ain't that kind of like when America was a huge debtor nation during the industrial revolution, until 1914, to finance those stupid railroads, steel mills, electricity, and even cotton planting and slave in the old south, with loans from those "perfidious" British swine...... And, didn't we have terrible issues to deal with like slavery, poor working conditions and labor unrest, abuses of power, monopolies, and corruption (Credit Mobilier???), as those enterprises were built in America......? And, as a result of that awful "debt" we incurred to do that, hasn't everything just turned out so dreadfully awful.....as a result?
