China systematically captures political elites across developing nations through inflated infrastructure contracts, strategic debt arrangements, and resource concessions that benefit local leaders while securing long-term strategic assets like ports and military bases for Beijing. Evidence from Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Cambodia, Pakistan, Kenya, Laos, and Djibouti shows this evolved from opportunistic corruption exploitation to systematic dependency creation that constrains recipient countries' sovereignty and bypasses democratic accountability. In short, China has nationalised corruption. https://www.frametheglobenews.com/p/elite-capture-networks-and-chinese
