章 69: Chapter 69: Modes of colonization in the age of civilization
On the other hand, countries also saw the details of the diplomatic agreements released by Yan Guo.
In Japan.
The relevant departments read the information released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and shook their heads.
They thought China was crazy.
6.9 billion dollars in financial aid in return only to import contracts for oil products, coal and iron ore.
Even if Yan Guo imported all his China raw materials for the next ten years, how much would it bring?
As for the 200 fishing boats and 30,000 jobs, when compared to 6.9 billion dollars in financial aid, they are insignificant.
The logic said that China did not give these 6.9 billion dollars only for these import contracts, they certainly had other plans.
But what did they see in Yan Guo?
The development potential?
Even if Yan Guo could take off, it would take at least ten years.
And even if it took off, what relationship would it have with China?
What benefits could China get?
In the past, when China provided financial aid to Central Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa countries, there were international considerations at stake.
But what would be the purpose of providing financial aid to Yan Guo, given its geographical location?
Moreover, with China's current position in the world, it would not need to establish diplomatic relations with a small country to prove anything.
"There must be a reason for China to provide financial aid to Yan Guo"
That was the general conviction.
But even knowing that China had other plans, it was hard to understand what these plans were.
At least, it was not possible to deduce them from the available information.
This made them a little frustrated.
They really wanted to do something, but Chen Yang simply wasn't interested in the small loans they offered.
The problem is that their governments did not allow them to invest more money.
Generally, there are several considerations when two countries establish diplomatic relations, and the most important thing is whether the other country has sufficient development potential.
Given the current international economic situation, many countries are really interested in some developing countries.
They were not afraid of being late. As long as you want to progress and develop your country, some powerful nations will not mind providing low interest loans to help you develop.
When a late country develops, the economy of its citizens improves, and demand also increases.
For example, in infrastructure construction, you will need a lot of steel, and of course you will prefer to buy from countries that have helped you.
Simply put, for the big nations, the arrears are machines to make continuous money.
This is why Germany, Japan and South Korea showed goodwill to learn that Yan Guo planned to build a steelmaker.
Since Chen Yang agrees, they will not mind providing essential technology and personnel.
But the condition is that the owner of the steelmaker must change.
This brings many benefits to the big nations, but for Chen Yang, if he agrees, Yan Guo will actually become a puppet of them.
This is a form of colonialism in the modern era.
After Chen Yang's refusal, they offered no other help.
Why?
Because they don't see a future for Yan Guo.
It can be argued that Yan Guo's development is in a positive trajectory, with investments from hundreds of billions of dollars, building a city, a port and an airport.
Even China has provided 6.9 billion in help funds.
At first glance, it seems that Yan Guo is about to take off.
But no matter how good it seems, there is a fundamental fact that cannot be changed - a lack of population!
Other countries do not care how many jobs you have created, as these jobs are still occupied by people from other countries.
Yan Guo, so far, does not have a single citizen!
Not even an immigrant.
This is the biggest problem.
No matter how beautiful your speech is or how promising your vision is if there is no immigration, no one will immigrate.
Without citizens, there is no real purchase power, and development will inevitably be stagnant, making it difficult to sell products in your country.
Depending only on these external jobs and resort tourists are not sustainable in the long run.
Therefore, the more the other countries understand this, the more they cannot understand China's move.
