The following 2 chapters look at Chinese and Indian perspectives on the “debt trap”, respectively. The next 9 chapters examine the debt issue and BRI projects in Southeast Asian, South Asian, and African states, which mainly involve Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Nigeria, and give some useful policy suggestions to reduce the debt burden and promote the socioeconomic development in these countries.Indo-Pacific Focus,2731-8877International economic relationsAsiaPolitics and governmentInternational relationsAsiaEconomic conditionsInternational Political Economy’Asian PoliticsInternational RelationsAsian EconomicsInternational economic relations.AsiaPolitics and government.International relations.AsiaEconomic conditions.International Political Economy’.Asian Politics.International Relations.Asian Economics.336.3435Peng Nian1077068Cheng Ming YuMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910851982703321The Reality and Myth of BRI’s Debt Trap4259296UNINA
