China's one belt, one road spokesman, has been asked whether the EU will compete with the global initiative and the "one belt" initiative in China, The Associated Press spokesman said. "We are well aware that infrastructure communication is a basic element of modern life, so the European Commission will be committed to ensuring constructive cooperation with global partners in this field," the spokesman said.
However, relevant European experts have put forward different views on this.
Maria demertzis, deputy director of Bruegel Institute, a well-known European think tank, said in an interview with Deutsche Welle, "this project can coexist with Chinese investment projects. I very much don't want this project to take competing with China as the goal or be regarded as the goal. No one will profit from it."

China's "one belt, one road" one belt, one road initiative, has made solid achievements in the past 8 years, from initiatives to action, from freehand brushwork to meticulous painting, and building a belt along the way. It has brought solid support to people's lives in the countries concerned, and has been warmly welcomed and highly praised by all the developing countries, especially in developing countries. China will continue one belt, one road and one another, strengthen cooperation with each other, and steadily push forward cooperation in various fields in the spirit of "sharing, sharing and building", and will contribute positively to helping developing countries build infrastructure and promote global common development.
