    The potential for bad is bad. It’s why benevolent dictatorship is still bad.

    Let’s not forget the long history of vassal state politicians praising and thanking their subjugator.

    Again, I think this is better than what the USA does, but it’s still worthy of criticism.

      My point is that no bad has been done, and you’re acting like it has been, simply because China is loaning Laos money for development as two socialist countries.
