Here's a top 10 list of debtors to the IMF, on top of which is Argentina, which, as you know isn't doing great economically.

I'm not going to claim there's a causal effect, as I don't think the case of Sri Lanka can be attributed solely to debt to China either (Sri Lanka was run by kleptocrats, and had to import a lot of goods and energy, making it vulnerable to external market conditions).
