Instead of cooperating with China in the BRI, the US decided to make a western backed competitor. The initiative is primarily privatized with little state control, and so far they managed to come up with a few million (or low billions) in funding. And it’s likely abandoned because it was never talked about again after it was announced (which never even made headlines because no one cares about it).

Either they don’t give a shit, or it’s just another opportunity for the ghouls in Langley to base their hostile operations. Either way, the west continues to show that they don’t care about anyone or anything that isn’t white. It doesn’t matter if China is cynical or cunning or whatever. What matters is that they’re backing up their rhetoric and pushing their propaganda without some Chinese intelligence officer or soldier massacring a bunch of Africans to prove some stupid point.
