Bearing the cost of failure of the ruling governments in Pakistan, the country has had to pay over Rs 26 billion in interest cost to China to repay a maturing debt in the fiscal year 2020-21, reported a local media. China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has left scores of lower-and middle-income countries (LMIC) saddled with "hidden debts" totalling USD 385 billion, according to new research.
