- China's economic footprint in the Maldives is growing, but its infrastructure investments promising to boost tourism and development are also raising concerns. CNA's Afifah Ariffin has the report.
So CNA gonna do a story about Maldives and too lazy to interview someone who actually lives there?
Right

It reflects Maldives would be dependent on China! What a foolish statement! Do you mean Maldives should just stay where she was? CNA should interview its chief editor!
When the U$A says they want to help you by building infrastructure in your country, they don't mean hospitals, roads, schools, etc.
They mean military bases.
--island country saying
They do not collapse economies using Deb trap like China
Right
Apa yang amerika bisa? Selain 2 hal ini peralatan militer dan chip semikonduktor. Apakah ada yang lain? 😂(Tidak)😂

CNA is Channel News Asia. It's Singaporean.
@@Nkkjlkljiiiojiuyhhbcjust like many indian based American finance (albeit secretly under the table) news media that popped up recently.
@@Nkkjlkljiiiojiuyhhbc Not, wrong. However, CNA's views and story point instead of being NEUTRAL, CNA has become Western centric skewed. Which is NOT good !
CNA is like a US-funded mouthpiece.
this channel is like a dog assigned by the cia to follow china around the world and dig up the smallest negativity they can sniff out and publicize it.
Why the concern ?? The US can also invest so what is the problem. One sided reporting
this channel is like a dog sent by the CIA to follow China around the world to sniff out bad news
Maybe they should remove the A from CNA And replaced it with another N.

Well, why is there no one complaining about over-reliance on Computer systems (Windows, iOS...)/Cloud service (AWS, Azure...) from the US, and financial service (SWIFT, banking) from western countries? 😨

But where do you find the most avid users of those "brands"?
In an earlier video, the Indian guest tried to argue that religion is not involved here by mentioning India has close relations with Saudi Arabia and the UAE. What he omit to say is that India and these countries are planning to take over Gaza to build a route through it to Europe. That makes India complicit in the genocide of the Palestinians. 🍉🍉🍉
indian goverment is supplying Israel with arms. The Israeli official has told this to media openly.
The United snakes wanted a base in the Indian ocean. So they asked its vassal UK to find one for them. One of conditions was it should not be populated. So UK pressured the indigenous people there to leave their homes and that's how the united snakes has Diego Garcia in the middle of the Indian ocean. It is alleged that the pet dogs of the islanders were gassed to death by the exhaust of running military trucks. More about it below.
(Stealing a Nation - How the UK/US Stole the Diego Garcia Island)
Stealing a Nation is a 2004 Granada Television documentary written and directed by John Pilger, produced and directed by Christopher Martin and with reconstruction footage directed by Sean Crotty. The documentary is about the expulsion of Chagossians from the Chagos Archipelago, chiefly from Diego Garcia Island, forcibly removed by the British government between 1967 and 1973 to Mauritius, 1,000 miles away, so that the island could be used as an American and British airbase.
The ICJ has deliberated on Diego Garcia and ruled that the occupation and eviction of the natives were illegal and the UK has to restore the island to them. But of course the hypocritical "rule base order" empire will just ignore with impunity the Court's ruling.
For decades America has been running a giant military base on Diego Garcia right smack in the middle of the Indian Ocean after forcing the native inhabitants to get on ships and dumping them on Maldives.
*Indeed both China and Russia economy are growing across the world*
😂This Western midia.
When west setup military base.

When not west helping.
"over-reliance concerns" 😡
Now the hypocrites rear their ugly heads

CNA, stop parroting with western trope like "dependency or reliance" i when reporting on China in your headlines to bait for viewers. Its getting very tiresome
Growing Singaporean footprint in the finance and shipping sectors raises over-reliance concerns
China help building bridges and other infrastructures: raises concerns!
The US bulding military bases and sending weapons: cheers!
The problem with China's Belt and Road Initiative is that it is inflexible about debt restructuring and is meant to put countries under Chinese control. For example, borrowing countries are prohibited from refinancing with other countries such as those from the west even though it would be better for the borrowing country and would make reducing the debt easier.
Beautiful bridge 🌉
40% of Maldives' $4 billion debt is to China. That $1.6 billion. You showed the bridge that connects the capital to an outlying island, a new airport, luxury vacation resorts as part of what the $1.6 billion was for, can you show us what the $2.4 billion owed to others brought to the Maldives?
No interviews from any of the locals themselves? Not exactly prime reporting standards CNA.
Debt trap happened in Colombo in Sri Lanka. Maldives should be weary of falling into the same trap.
You seem much smarter than the intellect of these countries. Please go to tell them directly!
It had been explained even by western media that Sri Lanka has no debt-trap by China. You are so lazy to go find out the actual truth. Bias people like you will always be misinformed. Fact is, Sri Lanka owed more money to the Int. Sovereign bonds, World Bank, ADB, also to Japan, India and China. So, why pick on China for this debt-trap story?
Debt trap is a term used on the World bank, IMF and western banking institutions which put heavy conditions for their loans to smaller poor countries. The west deflected the term and used it to smear China's reputation.
Majority of Sri Lanka's debt is with IMF my dear. Do some homework.
Raises what concern? If China and Maldives cooperate to do their projects, that's their business. Why whenever it comes to China, the media must always question the motive, the procedures, the impact, the whatever! But if it is a western entity cooperation, everything will be reported as hunky-dory! Sheesh!

Maldives is an independent country with a democratically elected Government. What happens with a huge loan fom China is any one's guess. Only India has to have a huge naval base in Kerala as well as a suitable air force base in Kerala.
On humanitarian grounds India should allow medical treatment of citizens of Maldives.
China could have invested in Maldives elections.
Bunkum!
Is that the same as Chinese money in the Stock market? Bonds? … That must be many billions more than the Maldives.
This is great news. Like Sri Lanka, the economy will soon run off the rails. Then India can step in to provide debt relief and get a few things for itself.
Infrastructure projects that they can't afford. 😂
These kind of leader will not learn of Debt Trap of China. Muizzu clearly kowtow to China from the start. Money money money 💴💴💴😂😂😂
You think so? You think you know better than the prime minister of a sovereign country, or the leaders of more than over 100 countries in the BRI projects? I doubt it.
@lonewolf7992 Hahaha convince yourself, most countries are experiencing debt trap of China already. You don't need to be a prime minister to know about China's debt trap... I'll ask you back your question, so you know better than the countries experiencing debt trap? Debt trap of China is happening Wumao.😂😂😂
Oh, and I was wondering what the Maldivians thought of what Modi and his gangs are doing to the Muslims in India...
so many pro ccp comments but no one dare to comment if the report is wrong.
It seems India is punishing Maldives, and Maldives has little choice but to rely more heavily on Chinese tourism. Some may argue Maldives has become too reliant on China, but any path forward may be criticized.
05 JUNE 2024 WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY
1. The Maldives is one of the countries that should not celebrate World Environment Day. Even though the Maldives is presented at the international forums as a low-lying nation, we are at the front line of the impacts of climate change. Knowing all these things, the Maldives is the one country that does things which destroy its environment openly. Dragging sand from the bottom of the ocean floor and pouring it onto the beautiful lagoons and the reefs which took thousands and thousands of years to grow. The Maldives has made more than 250 islands by dragging sand over the lagoons and the reefs.
2. The Maldives is made up of about 1,190 coral islands formed around 26 natural ring-like atolls. Of this, no more than 200 islands are inhabited, the rest includes over 150 tourist resorts and uninhabited islands, some of which are used for fisheries and agricultural activities. We have still got more than 800 islands that are formed naturally to build resorts if needed. But the government of the Maldives are dragging the sand from the ocean floor and pouring it over the lagoons and the reefs to make the new resorts. This blocks the flow of the current completely through the atolls, which leads to warming up the temperature of the sea and eventually leads to bleaching and death of the remaining corals and the fishes that live inside the atoll. Which also leads to not getting the bait fish for the fishermen in the Maldives. The Maldives economy depends on fishing after tourism.
3. In the Maldives there are incidents where a ship or a boat accidentally hit a reef, the shipping company or the owner of the boat gets fined millions and millions of dollars for the damage caused to the reef. But there's no law or a rule which can fine the Ministry of Environment or the Environmental Protection Agency for the unimaginable damage they cause to the lagoons and the reefs across the Maldives in the name of new resorts by dragging sand over the reefs and lagoons. The funny thing is when they had to make an inhabited island due to lake of land, the Environmental Protection Agency know the impact of it to the environment and it becomes difficult to get the land the citizens need to make a living. It is proven scientifically that saving an area of 500m to 500m of lagoon and reef will help the environment rather than saving 1 million trees. Trees and rainforests produce approximately 28% of the oxygen on Earth, so what about the other 72%? Well, that comes from the plant life in the ocean.
DO THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW THE IMPACTS CAUSED BY THESE THINGS, OR THEY ARE JUST DOING IT ON PURPOSE TO OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. OR THEY JUST WANT TO GET A BENEFIT FROM IT FOR NOW.
So theres a Bot Stream going on the chat .Um the admin might wanna look into it.

It's inevitable that Maldives 🇲🇻 will be submerged under the ocean water due to rising sea levels.
- China, the biggest contributor to the event, won't come to help.

The CNA should be concerned with their own over-reliance in aping western narratives, especially about China.
I don't understand why everyone uses Einar Tengen as a pundit? We all know he is a CCP flunky on the payroll. Everyone else is wrong except for the CCP... That's his stance each and every time he is interval. Same with Victor, same with Andy.
We all know you have no brain cells too
bloody CNA is another US owned mouth piece. Can you not interview a local rather than an Indian
A pot trying to call the kettle black. Woof woof 🐩
You are definitely wrong about talking about "ccp". Don't you know there is no such entity in the world?
