Extending loans for infrastructure projects is not inherently bad but the projects that #China is supporting are often intended not to support the local economy, but to facilitate #Chinese access to natural resources.

Nine years ago today, large swathes of the coast of Japan were hit by a powerful #tsunami made much more destructive by high levels of pollution. Scientists now call it a "black tsunami" following study of water samples taken at the time.

The #COVID19 pandemic is a crisis that affects everyone.

We must all play our part by showing solidarity with the most vulnerable – the elderly, the sick, those without reliable healthcare.

Most #BRI projects are in under developed countries where financial institutions are reluctant to do business.Many China-watchers label BRI a geopolitical influence effort designed to make nations beholden to #China for loans they have to repay to Chinese financial institutions.

[Hiroki Sato @hirokisato33]

#China is looking for markets for its resources – coal among them – and jobs for its own population. So under #BeltandRoad project China is making all the benefit not the partner Nations. This is what #Chinazi #BRI project.
@BoycottHegemony @beltandroad1

[Hiroki Sato @hirokisato33]

Putting all factors together with genuine #Chinese decarbonization effort at home and the result in some cases has been literally to transfer China’s oldest, dirtiest, and least efficient coal technology to its #BRI partners and provide a workforce to go with it

Today we will present the #EUIndustrialStrategy.
Europe needs strong businesses if it is to be economically and technically sovereign.
For this to happen, we must support them in going green and thriving in the digital world. Stay tuned!

Europe needs to be clear with Turkey: solve the border chaos, and we can discuss a new deal. If you want more, like lifting visa restrictions, we want to discuss illegal gas drilling in Cypriot waters. If you want to talk trade, we need to talk rule of law. #StandWithGreece

As #CCPChina’s multibillion-dollar infrastructure drive expands across #Asia, this regional connectivity brings mostly negative consequences. Girls & young women in the poorer countries are under the greater risk of human trafficking and forced marriages
