Коллеги, хотел бы посоветоваться с вами насчет перевода следующего предложения:
Most of the state's finances had been appropriated by foreigners and foreign loans were difficult to raise, and when they were obtained more Chinese assets had to be handed over as security. Бóльшая часть финансов государства была присвоена иностранцами и было трудно осуществлять иностранные займы, а когда все же они были получены, еще больше китайских активов пришлось передать в качестве залога.
Вот контекст:
In November the Manchu dynasty was removed from power and once the revolutionaries had recognized all the treaties and loans made with the European powers by the imperial government they in their turn were recognized. Sun Yat-sen was in Denver when the revolt began, but he quickly returned and was elected president of the new Chinese republic on 1 January 1912.
The problems facing the new government were vast and centred around whether, given its dreadful inheritance, it could organize and unify China and begin the process of renewal. Most of the state's finances had been appropriated by foreigners and foreign loans were difficult to raise, and when they were obtained more Chinese assets had to be handed over as security. Sun Yat-sen proved incapable of strong leadership and resigned within six weeks, to be replaced by a very weak parliamentary system (in which most MPs belonged to more than one party). This only lasted until late 1913 when it was replaced by a military dictatorship under Yuan Shi-kai. He was supported by a consortium of foreign banks who provided the loans that enabled the government to function.
Заранее большое спасибо.

По-моему, всё верно. Стиль чуть-чуть подправить, и всё...
