Forget about failing to pay loans. If the place is financially successful and lots of Chinese have interests there, the CCP will just declare it's Chinese.

Straight from the Russia playbook.

They can just declare the local people as terrorists and send them off to re-education camps for free hard labour. It's not as if a communist Country has never done that before, or even that the CCP doesn't do exactly this today in Xinjiang and Tibet.
