No surprise that China steps up and says do whatever you like as long as we get what we want. Pretty simple really.

The American deal typically includes feminism and LGBT stuff, which is often quite alien to the receiving nations. Afghanistan, for example.

The Chinese deal doesn't include such things and so probably seems more attractive to many nations.

Like if I go to the bank for a mortgage and the bank manager says, OK we will lend you the money, but you gotta vote republican, you gotta put up the flag outside your house, and you have to go to church, mow the lawn and wash the car every Sunday. So I go to the Bank of China, they say, pay it back and do what else the f you like. Tough choice?

Most of that sounds perfectly fine with me. Such people make great neighbors.
