"Sure China helped build Indonesias first HSR. But Whoosh is a financial disaster: $7.3B project XX% financed by Chinese loans now $10.7B in debt. Ridership is way below projections (1621k/day vs. expected 5076k) and losses are mounting (Rp4.2T in 2024 alone). Now China is reportedly looking to leverage that debt for strategic influence. A textbook reminder to all nations: be careful who you get into bed with when you build these poltical monuments to your self"
