Chinese land grabbing
Chinese land grabbing is mostly non-validated or overly exaggerated in terms of the modern concept of land grabbing. It is sometimes seen in conjunction or as an extension of debt-trap diplomacy. The acquisition of land by China has also been called "Chinese globalization" instead of alleged "nefarious" design.[1] The stress on its own farmlands is one reason which has forced China to go global, with land grabbing also happening within China by foreign entities.[2]
Examples[edit]
Former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed had said that in a few years without firing a single bullet China has grabbed more land than the British Empires' East India Company.[3][4] He was challenged by the Maldivian administration to name a single island which had been grabbed following which the former president did not name any of the islands.[5] China has various projects in the Maldives.[6] In January 2018, 80 percent of the Maldives' foreign debt was held by China.[7]
