\n

Foreign ministers of the European Union have approved plans to develop a competitor global investment strategy to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, to counter Beijing’s flourishing influence in countries across the world.<\/p>\n

Beijing, which launched the initiative in 2013, has already started investing in nearly 70 different countries and international organizations, including in EU member state Greece at the port of Piraeus and also in Italy, demonstrating the Mediterranean Sea’s importance for transport and infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

EU foreign ministers agreed to give a new motive to their newly announced strategy entitled “Globally Connected Europe”, pushing for investments in visible projects to link Europe to the world from 2022.<\/p>\n

“It has a broader purpose to put connectivity at the center of our external policy,” the EU’s top diplomat Josep Borrell said. “We started to do this two years ago with our agreement with Japan.<\/p>\n

“But it seems that today is much more important for us to look at the connectivity problems with the broader Middle East and looking forward to Central Asia and China, but not with the same approach and the same purposes that China has with the Belt and Road initiative.”<\/p>\n

Better connectivity means diversification of value chains and a reduction of strategic dependencies for the bloc and its partners.<\/p>\n

EU candidate country Montenegro, for example, is struggling to pay a $1 billion Chinese loan for a highway plan.<\/p>\n

Researcher at the Bruegel think-tank, Alicia Garc\u00eda-Herrero, stressed that European countries need to be wary of becoming too dependent on Beijing, in terms of infrastructure, but also in terms of trade, to avoid bottlenecks in case of a supply chain shock.”Importing, for example, 90% of a critical product through a port that belongs to China and suddenly trying for whatever reason to argue against whatever with China, then you have two potential bottlenecks: your imports and your ports,” Garc\u00eda-Herrero said.<\/p>\n

Last month, G7 leaders also adopted the “Build Back Better World” plan to rival Beijing’s influence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
