Many critics are surfaced against the ‘Belt and Road’ initiative by China concerning economic aspects as well as human right issues. The economic aspect remains the responsibility of the participators to decide based on their own interests but the human right issue seems to be questionable. This is because China uses construction projects to increase it’s revenue and influence and seeks stability while the west uses destruction projects (simply wars!) and instability.
And to remember! The first of human rights is to remain alive ( to be able to enjoy the rest! ) which is challenged by ‘kind’ pro-human right activities of the Western block around the world.
Just consider ME and Africa (and of course Ukraine) as the cases, in the first case over million of Western beloved people simply had died and more displaced while the seeds of conflict are sown for a hundred of years to assure long time “instability” which secures their benefiting by creating a mass of tiny countries which are all hostile to each other while all have a common friend, ” the Western block”. A living example is the bunch of autocratic leaders of ME, all in a bidirectional love with the West and appreciated by them. In fact, they have an “Africanization” project for the rest of the world.
In European colonized Africa the same investment in war and ‘country making’ prevailed for centuries to keep indirect slavery in place. And this time to make them work for European businesses while being in their own home! However, in an indefinitely political struggle which allows France and US to deploy their troops from time to time to secure their business profits which in fact is benefiting from “instability” and the “extremism”.
This is the key difference that makes anybody rethink ”To be (alive) in a Chinese system or not to be (alive) in a pro-human right Western system”. Apparently, having the right to live gives the people more hope to acquire the rest in future!
