Submission Statement: „As the US curtails development aid, Europe is left alone to counter China’s Belt and Road in the Global South. Team Europe has a fighting chance.“ Anda Bologa discusses Europe’s challenge to counter China’s Belt and Road Initiative as the US retreats from development aid. With the Global Gateway plan, which aims to invest €300 billion globally by 2027, Europe seeks to provide equitable infrastructure alternatives, emphasizing high labor and environmental standards. However, the EU faces hurdles due to bureaucratic complexities and the need to streamline processes to compete with China’s rapid financing. Success hinges on fostering trust through transparency and local engagement in developing countries.

The fact that this is even a question in the first place exemplifies the importance of the U.S. taking this step. We need allies not subordinates.

I think we (as in Europe) should forget about China, we got more pressing issues. We can provide aid on good terms if asked, and rather cooperate with China. We currently has an «ally» that threatens us with war, and having the US as an enemy is far worse than China.
