The legal claims from expropriation, I get that... but everything else was actually borrowed.

Whether the form was debt issuance or unpaid accounts payable, the rest actually was borrowed.

It's kind of an "impressive accomplishment" in my view.

It matters by whom it was lent. Caracas telling China to fuck off is pretty easy right now. Less so if it’s an American investor.

If anyone has an outline of to whom the other hundreds of billions are owed, I’d be curious to see it.
