According to reference news reports, the British "Financial Times" has a whole hot article, saying that the bigwigs of the EU are not happy, why? Because they find that they are a little powerless compared to China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative in helping poor countries around the world to engage in construction.
Yuta Ulpilenen, the head of the European Union's international cooperation, gets straight to the point: in this world, it's all about being fast and good, and you have to be able to tell stories. On the Chinese side, the promised money arrived quickly, and the project was like a trick, and it was up with a whoosh. If you go to Africa for a walk, you will see Chinese football stadiums, new railways, big ports, and all the bright roads, all built by China.
Urpilainen also said that the European Union is a bit like an old craftsman in the village, meticulous in his work, but just slow. On the Chinese side, the strategy is slippery, and the African brothers cooperate with them, and the benefits are palpable. But what about our European Union, there are many rules, complicated procedures, and good intentions do good things, and as a result, our partners are a little unhappy.
The EU is not without ideas, and has made a big plan of "global gateway", planning to spend 300 billion euros to pave the way for poor countries to build bridges. But if you want to spend the money, you have to pass the two levels of environmental protection and social responsibility, and as a result, it is self-defeating, and the export business of cocoa beans and steel has been affected, and even the small farmers who have cultivated the land have also made it difficult, because the new environmental protection rules have made them have to fill out a bunch of forms to prove that this proves that, and they are busy enough.
Netizens were lively, and some said: "It's good that the EU has high standards, but you can't talk about environmental protection hungry, right?" ”。
So, ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? See you in the comments section.
