En los últimos años, ha surgido una imagen diferente de la Iniciativa del Cinturón y la Nueva Ruta de la Seda. Muchos proyectos de infraestructura con financiamiento chino no resultaron tan rentables y, como los gobiernos que los negociaron acordaron ser garantes de los préstamos, ahora padecen un enorme sobrendeudamiento. El problema para Occidente es que estos países se endeuden peligrosamente y tengan que recurrir al Fondo Monetario Internacional y a otras instituciones para pagar los préstamos de China.
Over the last few years, a different picture of the Belt and Road Initiative has emerged. Many Chinese financed infrastructure projects have failed to earn the returns as expected. And because the governments that negotiated these projects often agreed to backstop the loans, they have found themselves burdened with huge debt. The problem for the West was that developing countries would become dangerously indebted—forced to turn to the International Monetary Fund and other financial institutions for help repaying their Chinese loans.
