KASANGATI, Uganda—Ugandan politicians are calling on the government to scale down borrowing from China, citing concerns about the burden it will place on the East African nation.

On Aug. 29, Ugandan members of Parliament on the National Economy Committee said in a statement, “The committee noted that since China’s loans are non-concessional, they increase the country’s debt burden much faster.”
