Greece should have thought of that:

  - Provide unfettered economic access to China for 20 years in exchange for having the country's debt paid by them.
  - Seed a few alarmist articles.
  - Wait until USA and EU go crazy over that and summarily agree on a debt write-off.

Greece already leases the port of Piraeus to China. Didn't help much, our country's richest families are shipping magnates.

I mean Greece is selling EU permanent residency to Chinese for 250K euros (property purchse), you can take with you all your parents and kids, best of all, it doesn't require you to actually live there to get it.

Greece did play that card: the government visited china and russia asking for loans . Did not change anything as far as i know. (The chinese already had a strategy for greece and the balkans though which is progressing steadily - they are part of one belt one road)

Greece is in EU and NATO. EU, monetarily and NATO in defense have Greece by the, you know what. No one can give Greece the money that EU gives them and if Greece loses NATO, Turkey is waiting. So no Chinese or Russian base will be allowed in Greece or Turkey gets a wink and a nod to remind Greece which side the bread is buttered. http://www.ekathimerini.com/235989/article/ekathimerini/news...
