European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker complained the practices of the bloc’s “systematic rivals” in front of lawmakers in Germany yesterday. He said “Chinese companies have free access to our markets in Europe, but we don’t to the markets in China”, and “it can’t stay like this”.
Also, “one country isn’t able to condemn Chinese human rights policy because Chinese investors are involved in one of their ports,” Juncker added “it can’t work like this”.
Though, he’s not against China’s Belt and Road initiative “as long as the conditions are right”. He said, “if you don’t only meet Chinese workers on these construction sites but also European workers, then this is all feasible.”
