Unfortunately im not very well read on this, maybe comparisons to the IMF could also offer insight. As egypt and argentina show, badly behaved debtors have more leverage than many powers would like for instance, but its still a rough place to be in

debt trap diplomacy has been pretty relevantly debunked as an explanatory model: www.theatlantic.com/internationa...
A better way of thinking of the issue may be to read china as an economy geared toward overbuilding: youtu.be/fyMUHVPXOGM

The narrative wrongfully portrays both Beijing and the developing countries it deals with.
