SupChina posted on 9 October 2020 a commentary titled "China Must Save Zambia from Imminent Default. No One Else Can" by Simon Wolfe, international lawyer at Marlow Strategy.

The International Monetary Fund continues to withhold assistance. Zambia is on the verge of default and China holds most of the cards.
