How China Is Buying Its Way Into Europe

[@General.Knowledge]

*Do you agree that China's influence is dividing Europe? And if so, do you think that's a good or a bad thing for those involved?*

[@UnoriginallyOriginal]

@@General.Knowledge think Europe already does a good job on its own dividing itself.

[@tobio1988]

It is an absolute mixed bag. Europe needs China as same as China needs Europe. Both economic systems could not exist without the other. China wants influence because the people that rule there see China as the middle point of the world(what are the last 200 years of foreign ruling against the last few thousand of ruling the world?). Europe has a completly other power dynamic. Way harder to break but even so way slower in movement. The answer: Yes China is dividing right now. But it does not want to break. It wants power, influence and market share(and much of cause).

[@brianquigley1940]

The Xi Jinping/CCP is a bigger threat to world peace than Putin/Kremlin.

[@archstanton6102]

​@@UnoriginallyOriginal One of the reasons Europe divides itself is Democracy. No free elections in China or Russia. However look at the division in Brazil and Venezuela after their recent elections.

So, is it a bad thing that Serbia and Hungary are building a railway? Serbia must have some railway connection with Europe. It is unreliable through Croatia and the journey takes a long time.

[@zeneger01]

The problem is more about where the funds come to build the railway. There were PLENTY of other countries that got money from china to construct/improve infrastructure and is now in dept and is missing the bridge/tunnel/railway they wanted. You don't have to look far, since montenegro is a neighbouring country.

[@zimskasalamabg]

@@zeneger01 what happened in Montenegro is well known to us. But we also know what the government in Montenegro looked like at the time it took that loan. It is absolutely ridiculous that someone from Montenegro was chosen as a journalist who talks about Serbia. In addition, the neighboring country is Croatia, which did not take a loan from the Chinese when it was building all those highways and is now trying to give them out as a concession because it has no money to pay back the loans.

​@@zimskasalamabg "In addition, the neighboring country is Croatia, which did not take a loan from the Chinese when it was building all those highways and is now trying to give them out as a concession because it has no money to pay back the loans." As a Croatian I have to point out that this is completely false information. Last time Croatian government considered giving croatian highways to concession was in 2013. and they decided against it. Since then there were no additional talks about it, and considering that national highway managing company (HAC) is reporting record profits these last few years I doubt there will be (at least for the foreseeable future).

[@zimskasalamabg]

@@yaxman8163 4.07. 2013. the Croatian government officially made a decision on highway concessions. Croatia held a presentation for the Chinese company China Machinery Engineering Corp (CMEC) in Beijing. In the end, she received two non-binding offers and only then gave up. It is obvious that she did not receive the 2.4 to 3.2 billion euros that she expected to receive. Croatia's highway debt is 4 billion euros.

[@realandimaginedxyz]

People gonna keep voting for him, not because of propaganda but because he keeps the salami cheap. (Broke folk are easily bribed by him saying "no tax and price caps on basic goods!") Funnily enough he can keep funding that too, either on money he blackmails out of the EU, or gains from the East for political influence. Tbh, it's a natural consequence of things. This is how small countries can get by in the eastern side of Europe. Cohesion funds over the last decade could have made a difference. That's where the EU messed up. They should have done direct investment, not just giving cash. It just led to corruption on the bad side for the EU, and crazy buerocracy on the bad side for the little folk in Hungary. Had they not been so lazy, and used cohesion funds directly, working with the governments over the years, but using and executing constructions themselves, and having sensible milestone requirements, it could have worked. Could have benefitted the people, and thus led to the liberalization and cohesion they wanted. Just throwing money at the problem rarely actually works in life. Just leads to gangsters rising to the top.

China wasn't available to loan money then and the Western alliance was the only game in town for 30 years. Why else would Chinese investment by so appealing today? Because the West did such a good job building ports and railroads connecting Europe together? The EU getting serious about China now is too little way too late.

Before 2010 hungarians thought socialists are so wrong, here is Viktor Orban and the national right (facist, right wing) and he promise solving everything alone in a moment. They trusted him, and we saw what happened. Hungary become the most poorest country in the whole EU, he destroyed the democracy, he destroyed the economy, he destroyed the freedom. Hungarians are escaping the country to ROMANIA AND SLOVAKIA, because the life is much better there. And Orban and Putin will destroy you for power, they wont let you living in peace... So whatever your situation bad in your country, doesnt matter how corrupt for democrat politics, never ever trust to a right wing, populist dictator. He is not a superman, he wont change the world with promising everything. He will just destroy your country, your life, like Orban destroyed our country, our life.

Bots incoming!

Many indeed.

[@KarlMarxBR700]

Shame on you, just another shallow Westernized political analysis

[@General.Knowledge]

Westernized, sure! I wouldn't say shallow, though. What would you add to it?

[@archstanton6102]

What facts did he get wrong? You realise youtube is blocked in china?

[@TheManinBlack9054]

stick to geography please, not this political propaganda

[@RJDA.Dakota]

Truth hurts sometimes. We don’t have to like everything we hear.

[@MsJondde]

Ehh? How is this propaganda?

[@archstanton6102]

You can go and watch some Chinese propaganda if you need balace? Of course youtube is banned in china, so you might struggle.

To be fair, Hungarian *is* a difficult language!

[@thetruechaby]

@@General.Knowledge True, but still, learning how to pronounce it isn't that difficult.

[@bprogressive]

Same age old anti asian propaganda.shame.

[@General.Knowledge]

I think considering a description of Chinese lobbying anti-asian propaganda is a pretty big reach.

[@bprogressive]

@@General.Knowledge I not a chinese I am an Indian. But this time you cant fool us what you propagate against china today, tommorrow you will target us. Though we have a first hand experience what europe thought about us.

[@archstanton6102]

Not anti Asian. But discusses China. There is far more to Asia than just china.
