Ik beslist NIET. Waarschijnlijk alleen de wokes die zich niet verdiepen in de geopolitieke situatie in Libanon. Of hezbollah-lovers of beide. Fatah-supporter kaag maakte zich ook al sterk voor die doneer-actie, je weet wel van die partij die het referendum een kopje kleiner maakte.
"Over the past few years, Lebanon was already taking part in the internationalization of the yuan, offering bank accounts in yuan and increasing bilateral trade in yuan.
Beijing was already engaged in discussions revolving around the upgrading of Lebanese infrastructure – including the expansion of Beirut harbor.
This means that now Beijing may be in the position of offering a renewed, joint rebuilding/security deal for Beirut port – just as it was about to clinch a smaller agreement with Diab’s government, focused only on expansion and renovation.
The bottom line is that China has an actual Plan A to extricate Lebanon from its current financial dead end.
And that’s exactly what was, and remains, total anathema to US, NATO and Israel’s interests."
