It’s great that all 3 Baltic States are out this shit obviously, but I would really love to see other big CEE countries, especially Poland, leaving this asap.
That club is functionally dead anyways, it is completely deadlocked. China expected Europe will behave the same way the corrupt countries behave elsewhere in the world, then they realized there are robust institutions here that drives a hard bargain. Where they aren’t allowed to bring labor in from their own country, or forgo labor protection laws, or use state funding to undercut local competitors, or choose their own companies. So now they negotiate with individual countries like Hungary and Bosnia for individual projects.
