China’s Debt Trap to Low-Income Countries is Gateway to Its Expansion
China expands its global military reach by financing low-income countries build massive infrastructure projects, called Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI).
For the past 20 years, China finances these projects but when the debt-ridden country defaults, China takes key military strategic assets as debt repayment.
After Sri Lanka defaulted on the Chinese loan, it was forced to hand over a key strategic asset, its southern port on a 99 year lease.
Using the same strategy, China acquired a militarily strategic port to the Red Sea from the East African country Djibouti, where the United States has strong defense interests.

Will the Dramatic Drop in COVID-19 Deaths Continue?
CDC website reports weekly deaths due to Covid-19 for week of May 16, 2020 as 1,915 people. Compared to the May 9, 2020 data, one week before, had 6,764 deaths. That is a 72% reduction in COVID-19 Deaths in one week.
This goes far beyond flattening the curve. It is plunging over the cliff.
Is this due to social distancing, wearing a face covering or not placing patients most at risk, the elderly with co-morbidities, back into the nursing homes.
Next week will determine if the trend continues.
