Debt traps from the Chinese? You should read the book “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man”. Most of the debt owned by the Bahamas is not to the Chinese…
Atlantis went bankrupt before Covid, even though the resort was run by someone with a strong track record in the hospitality industry, something Izmirlian does not have. It was taken over by its lender Brookfield Corporation a Canadian multinational company that is one of the world's largest investment management companies, with over US$725 billion of assets under management. We need owners with deep pockets like Brookfield and the Chinese. They don’t bankrupt projects before they open.
Thank God the Chinese took over the Bahamar project, otherwise it would have gone bankrupt during Covid. As a reminder, the project went bankrupt twice before it even opened its doors...
This reminds me of Escobar who was also involved in philanthropy in Colombia. Escobar spent millions developing some of Medellín's poorest neighborhoods. He built housing complexes, parks, football stadiums, hospitals, schools, and churches...a "Nice guy" as some would say
