Emerging #economies are cooperating through various regional programs. Among them is the #Belt and #Road #Initiative (#BRI), a long-term program launched in 2013 by #China that aims for transcontinental integration and infrastructure development.

However, as the number of countries joining the BRI rises, so is the negative reporting on it. The term “#debt #trap” has been used to describe the investments from China in #Asia, Africa, #Latin #America, and the #Caribbean on several major news outlets.

But is there any truth to that narrative?
