🇨🇳 The choice of stops on Chinese president Xi Jinping’s tour last week of Europe were no accident... 🚨 Aside from geopolitical reasoning for each visit to France, Serbia and Hungary, the three countries have another thing in common: high levels of recent Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI). 📊 Between 2021 and 2023, China-based companies made $12.1bn of investment pledges in Hungary, according to fDi Intelligence data, more than in any other European country and an increase from $1.05bn during the previous three years. 🥈 Meanwhile, Serbia was the European country with the second highest Chinese FDI at $6.84bn during the last three years, more than double the figure between 2018 and 2020. France also attracted its highest Chinese FDI in 2023 alone since 2016. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ewDy-3kR ⁉ What do observers think about this ⁉ 1️⃣ These investments are broadly reflective of China’s stranglehold on critical supply chains, including electric vehicles (EVs) and the batteries, components and critical minerals that underpin them. Hungary, Serbia and France have all attracted Chinese investment in these sectors. 2️⃣ Abishur Prakash, founder of The Geopolitical Business, Inc, says Xi's trip is an “indicator of how different the world is today” and reveals a shift in China’s strategy in Europe towards smaller economies which are “willing to stand shoulder to shoulder” with Beijing. 3️⃣ Max J. Zenglein, chief economist at Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) gGmbH, says the choice of stops reflects China's intentions to "keep Europe as open as possible" amid concerns in Beijing that the EU will "take a more aggressive stance" similar to the US. ❓ What do you think ❓What does Xi's visit to Europe tell us about China's view and strategy of dealing with Europe ❓ #data #graphtime #fdi #china #europe #hungary #serbia #france #evs #battery

The recent working breakfast between Vietnam's National Assembly Chairman H.E.
