In your opinion, does China cheat on world trade principles? Part II: Congratulations! You are the newly-appointed finance minister of a country in South America that is considered to be a LDC but it has tremendous economic potential. As finance minister you have opportunities to develop your country with China-based Belt and Road infrastructure projects or nicely-packaged loan and foreign aid packages from the West, including the US, EU, IMF, and World Bank. As the finance minister which route will you advocate for, the China-route or the collective West-route?
