The Uganda's Civil Aviation Authority has also refuted the allegations against China, arguing that the Ugandan government would never surrender a national asset of such importance in
such a manner. The project to expand Entebbe International Airport by the state-owned China Communications Construction Compan y began in March 2016 and is expected to be finished by the end
of the next year. These allegations against China of debt-trapping poorer countries and seizing their assets are nothing new. A detailed account of China's debt-trapping strategies and
how it has taken over ports and lands of other countries after the latter defaulted in loan payments can be found here. _(With inputs from AFP.)_
