China investing in poorer surrounding countries is essentially China’s equivalent of the EU
Please read up on what the EU actually is. That statement is about as smart as calling China a US state, because US companies invested a lot in China.
No, not at all. Pure geopolitcs. In this case a double win, where china ties these countries closer to itself through investment and electricity produced west of China can benefit china directly after sundown.
This is how the long game is played.
