EU warned Germany against approving Chinese investment in port

  1. Can’t wait for the next CDU government to catch all the flak for SPD government’s lack of strategic foresight. Again.

  2. Noone in germany wants this except Scholz. All ministries and everyone involved in this told the chancellor’s office to not do this. Why in gods name is this still in debate?

  3. What does that mean though? What kind of access or privilege does this afford for the CCP? I have shares in Microsoft but I don’t see myself going knocking on Bill Gates door to hand over data. It’s purely a financial transaction whereby I provide short-term capital for Microsoft in exchange for long-term returns. How different is this kind of investment from that?

  4. First: Yeah not a fan. Rather wont sell parts of that Port to China.

    But can we also acknoledge the hypocrisy? Rotterdam, Antwerp, Bruges, Dunkirk, Le Havre, Nantes, Bilbao, Valencia, Marseille, Genoa, Piraeus, Istanbul. All bought in by China already.

    And the argument of Scholz and Hamburg senate to sell is that they are squeezed out by competition in China-Trade by Rotterdam. Go figure.

  5. Enlighten me. What would the actual issue be of a chinese company owning a minority of the port? I assume the majority stakeholder would still be a single German party
