| 1626281409852612610 | @Brad_Setser @TarelaMoses @rachelmsavage @Morris_ScottA Yes, which as you noted in the @FT this was a significant change in the Chinese position for Zambia. Our blog note simply estimates how much broader the envelope would be if China kept that new precedent for the other African debtors. | 0 |
| 1626265865728454656 | @KevinPGallagher @TarelaMoses @rachelmsavage @Morris_ScottA so not sure I see it as a concession -- the exposures were always going to be restructured, whether as part of the official bilateral bucket or the private commercial loans bucket. Sinosure guarantees logically put them in the bilateral bucket. | 0 |
| 1625015523594448898 | @rachelmsavage @jsphctrl @FT Can someone advice our govt, this thin k of been used by the west to settle the west score will not help Zambia. Stop engaging China in the media and go and speak to them | 0 |

| 1625079750367617025 | @mukunsa_w @rachelmsavage @jsphctrl @FT @nkowane1 No China knows that most of the projects they financed were overpriced and the change went into some people's pockets. They cannot now ask that others take losses now that there's failure to pay. They should have been prudent lenders in the first place. | 0 |

| 1625851123826589701 | @rachelmsavage @ChayuDamsinghe Either way, this a bigger concern for China, compared to any other creditor given the massive amounts of lending. The Sooner they resolve their issues and agree on how to move ahead with debt restructuring, is better for them. More they delay, more push for larger relief | 4 |

| 1625854676729221129 | @rachelmsavage @ChayuDamsinghe True. But there is a big geopolitical element when it comes to Sri Lanka's debt restructuring. This proposal, as I see is also partly due to that, and given that Sri Lanka is a middle-income country, the common framework does not apply. | 2 |
