China has invested heavily in Europe. Not everyone’s convinced it was a good idea

China has invested heavily in Europe, particularly in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008 when the region was strapped for cash.
This means that Chinese firms are now shareholders in many key European infrastructure projects. These include ports, wind and solar farms, telecommunications, airports - the list goes on.
But there are growing fears that Beijing could use its strategic investments to further its own political ambitions. A recent dispute between the Baltic nation of Lithuania and Beijing shed light on potential reactions from China.
It’s led European governments to step up their scrutiny of Chinese investments and attempt to figure out how to redesign their relationship with Beijing.
Dr Yu Jie from Chatham House told CNBC that we’re going to see more frictions regarding Chinese investment in Europe looking ahead.

That's because when western nations use economic sanctions, they do it for "human rights". Just like when they bomb middle east, it's always for "human rights". Yes, you heard it right, western nations use bombs for "human rights". When other nations do it, it's "genocide" or "war crimes. Not when they do it. When China and other non western nation use economic sanctions, it's not for "human rights" it's to "coerce".

It's a dystopia we'd all like to avoid.

Europe and US wants (cheap) goods then blaming when they got it and make the provider as their enemy? And get mad when the trading partner's "enemy" complains? Probably they think china is doing the trade by force? Taiwan is not china's enemy, in fact, they are brothers. The only issue is about power and governance. Taiwan thinks they can live better life than Chinese people if they are not under china's governance. Westerners now under the shadow of their own worry and now what their worries become self fulfilled prophecy and their (trading partner) become their enemy.

Padahal saat membutuhkan dana harusnya negara2 Eropa saling membantu daripada dibiarkan sengsara seperti Yunani dengan pelabuhan Pireous gak ada negara2 Eropa bantu sd China turun tangan dan diperbaiki manajemennya jadi baik sehingga menguntungkan Yunani dan China tapi seperti biasa dimainkan alasan klasik tsb. Kalau saya berpendapat harusnya perbaiki diri sendiri artinya dalam negeri ditingkatkan sumber daya manusianya agar bisa bersaing dijaman saat ini, bukan dengan China saja tetapi negara2 lain yg juga mulai maju seperti India, Singapura, Korsel yg dapat menyaingi Eropa dan Amerika dibidang maritim nantinya

I am from Sweden, it was in our exclusive economic zone that two of the explosions that destroyed the pipelines happened. In no way shape or form has our government or investigation into the matter claimed America is responsible. I am not sure why you would make such a claim, I mean we can all guess but that would be your own guess. So far there has not been any evidence pointing either way. There is a story circling around that some Ukrainians had hired a boat around the time and traces of explosives were found on it but that's from an anonymous German source and the Swedish government has said it have no such information so it's hard to say if it's real or just Russian attempts to shift blame to Ukraine for the explosions. I am not sure what a UN investigation would change to me it sound like a political ploy, my country Sweden, Denmark and Germany are already conducting investigations into it since it happened on our territory regardless of the political game being played in the UN.
