I go into it on the next page, but basically China built the bridge and Bridgetown from scratch, with almost no help from other countries (a little from Canada, but Russia and USA couldn't afford it). In fact they paid Russia several billion Yuan (now worth much more than today partly due to being the global exchange currency) for the land... also China is Russia's biggest foreign market, and also their military is much stronger than Russia's so they basically treat them like an employee now :)
