This article from the same source suggests China is at 54% of Zambia's debt, which is massive for a single country based off the other graphs: https://chinaglobalsouth.com/2023/05/31/how-zambias-debt-mix-is-forecast-to-evolve/
Yep! Zambia is the only country where the numbers don't immediately disprove the debt trap narrative.
Contrasting Zambia's numbers with the percentage of China's total African debt percentage only highlights how low it is in other African countries.
