A simple canopy would affect two countries' relations so dramatically?? There must be more to the story...

It was doomed from the first place with never ever returning investments 😅
@
Honestly it just seems like Orbán and Vuciċ just took the loan and pocketed half of the money

DW=DECEPTION WORDS

So China is as per usual in DW's eyes ...the bad guy. Wouldn't it be useful if DW also posts some GOOD news about what Germany and the EU did for Serbia and Hungary?
@
At least China uses the correct map of Serbia unlike the EU
@
First, incorrect map of Serbia, second, a repeat of the same old and tired anti-China fearmongering, third, the station building with the canopy was renovated by local Serbian subcontractors, not by the Chinese contractors who only did the high-speed railway itself. The high-speed railway is not a failure, it's fully operational in Serbia, where it will be expanded all the way to Serbia's border with North Macedonia, and from there it will eventually be expanded all the way to Greece and the port of Piraeus. As for the Hungarian section, it's almost finished, it's only waiting for the slow EU bureaucracy to give the final green light. And rest assured that it will be given the green light because it's already far too gone for anyone to be able stop it...

Weird that DW is so anti China when big German industries have moved and are moving to China.
DW headquarter is experiencing a significant influx of Indian professionals. A likely cause? 😅
@
中国人居然是建设塞尔维亚而不是轰炸塞尔维亚,这真的太可怕了!😂
@
DW: China this India that
DW: Germany 😶
@
DW how many articles like this you need to make in order to reach your KPIs?
@
Considering the lengths that the US would go to remove China from economic and diplomatic relationships…
@
There is an old Chinese saying: To develop a place or a country, you need to build roads to have access to the people. This railway track is doing exactly the same. If this commentator thinks otherwise, & cut this link off , then good luck to her & her people.
@
Doesn't sound like a downfall to me. The canopy thing was apparently not China's fault. Aren't EU politician supposed to work for their people's?

I doubt the new PM in Budapest cares that much what Brussels thinks. Foremost he'll keep in mind Hungarian interests and try to balance between the major players without choosing the wrong side too aggressively like Orban. His first interest is to draw investment wherever possible not push it away.
@
Oh no, they build trains, scary.

It’s surprising to me that Trump & co gave their support to a prime minister who was this close to China…

The Canopy was designed and executed by the local company, and supervised by the French. China Railway didn't built the canopy itself.

Germany is going down the hill but DW is worried about the rest of the world 😅
