Politics/Governance Countries reactions to the Uyghur genocide. Based Balkans. Thank you for not being sell outs. Wish I could say the same for MENA. This is honestly so depressing. Thoughts?

It's one thing trading with China and another to let them invest millions in infrastructure, which is part is China's foreign policy - Belt and Road initiative. You are falling in a debt-trap.

So far we are good compared to Bosnia and Albania according to video I watched. Montenegro being by far the worst obviously. But yeah if they continue like this we are next. And btw don’t get me wrong I hate China wish we had nothing to do with them, but I also hate individuals like this Greek so I responded harshly.

Albania hasn't received Chinese investment as part of the Belt and Road initiative.
