China Is Buying Global Ports Tentacles And Expanding.

Foreign media said that Chinese enterprises spent 368 million 500 thousand euros to win the controlling stake of Piraeus, the largest Greek port.

Beijing's appetite has been expanding, and it has not stopped in the global purchase of the port, and has extended its tentacles to Algeria, Australia, Canada and Pakistan.

Experts believe that Beijing intends to control maritime traffic arteries and ensure that their goods are pported to the Western consumers fastest.

But in this merger map, Russia is temporarily missing.

Piraeus port is not far from Athens. Beijing wants to turn it into a large international pport hub to pport goods from Asia to Europe. It is complementary to China's plan to build and operate the port in Scher Algeria, Algeria.

The latter should become the largest maritime pport center in the Mediterranean.

He has signed a total of $3 billion 300 million with the Arab government.

The big investment is impressive.

In October 2015, Australia announced that the Chinese Bridge Group had a lease of 99 years in the northern port of Darwin with a 506 million Australian dollar (about 2 billion 378 million yuan).

It is a large port on the northern coast of the country and is also known as the "leading".

Gate.

In 2007, the Chinese invested nearly $250 million and built the port of gwadel in Pakistan.

Port throughput will continue to grow as well as investment from China.

China Communications Construction Co will also build container terminals in Sydney port on the east coast of Canada from 2019. The project will also be worth billions of dollars.

Experts believe that although China's expansion looks scary, it can be understood purely from an economic point of view.

Reported that Beijing in the world to build large port facilities, gradually grasp the control of these ports, even in some cases can not be desired, but at least control the logistics line.

The report said that Russia and its seaport haven't been appreciated by China yet.

Of course, from time to time, there will be news of joint projects between the two countries and China's interest in port assets.

For example, an investment fund in China has become a joint investor of the Amazon's LNG integrated project, which also includes port facilities.

Andreev J Ki stressed: "however, the port of Russia is not in the vision of China's global expansion.

Foreign ports of interest in Beijing are located in the logistics chain of goods exported to China or goods sent to China.

"The throughput between China and Russia is not large. After all, the two countries have a long land border, while the ports in Russia's European part are far away from China's coast, which will not help push forward the development of maritime trade.

For this reason, in his view, China will not expand to port in Russia.

Ivan Andrievskiy, chairman of 2K engineering company, told the media: "6 of the top ten of the world's freight throughput are located in China.

Against this background, China's willingness to control another port of shipping lines is reasonable.

Investing in ports enables China to enhance its logistical certainty and reduce the cost of this paction.

In addition, mastering the relevant freight information will not only help China to anticipate the logistics field, but also find out the economic process of the port area.

"

Another analyst pointed out that the purchase of large ports is within the framework of the grand plan of the twenty-first Century Maritime Silk Road, while the latter is a constituent element of the "one belt and one road" economic proposition put forward by Beijing.

It aims to strengthen economic cooperation with Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and EU countries, and optimize the trade process.
