Malaysia once courted Chinese investment. Now the Southeast Asian democracy fears becoming overly indebted for big projects that are neither viable nor necessary — except to China. At the end of a visit in Beijing, Malaysia’s new leader, Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial), said that he was halting 2 major Chinese-linked projects that are worth more $22 billion. “We do not want a situation where there is a new version of colonialism happening because poor countries are unable to compete with rich countries,” said @chedetofficial, 93. From Sri Lanka and Djibouti to Myanmar and Montenegro, many recipients of cash from Chinese’s huge infrastructure financing campaign have discovered that Chinese investment brings with it less-savory accompaniments. Fears are growing that China’s using its overseas spending spree to gain footholds in strategic places — and maybe even luring vulnerable nations into debt traps. @deciccaphoto photographed this family on the beach in Forest City, a new metropolis being built at the end of the Malaysian peninsula.
