It is turning to them out of a cold, rational calculation: decades of Western conditionality have produced debt, dependence, and continued poverty; while the East offers infrastructure, investment, and crucially, the right to govern without being photographed and sanctioned every time an election goes badly. That is a terrible bargain, but it is a bargain that looks attractive when the alternative is $30 billion in excess interest payments and a colonial-era IMF austerity program in return for respectability”
