Ex-World Bank chief Jim Yong Kim: Blaming BRI as 'debt trap' makes no sense
02:38

The "debt trap" associated with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) makes no sense, said former World Bank President Jim Yong Kim. He made the remarks during the forum "The Belt and Road: Sharing the Opportunities of Development" of the 2023 Boao Forum for Asia. Many U.S. journalists have smeared the BRI with little or no investigation into its benefits. Noting the worsening anti-Chinese sentiments in the U.S., Kim called on Asian-Americans to stand up to the blind hate.
