“ I admire is courage in tackling this issue; it's a huge issue for most third world countries who have loans from China. I do believe however that the only solution to this is to pay it off.

To be completely independent to pursue its own destiny without feeling obligated, Tonga must bite the bullet for several years, tighten its belt, and pay off the loan. ”
