'The Hub' investigates Montenegro's highway controversy

For more:
www.cgtn.com/video
For seven years, a highway that would connect mountainous Montenegro with the European highway network and boost the economy came under constant criticism - simply because a Chinese company was involved in the construction. In this episode of "The Hub with Wang Guan," Wang Guan does a test drive on the first - and most difficult - part of the Bar-Boljare Expressway to discover the truth behind the tirade. His co-passenger Jelena Petkovic, who's also the deputy manager of the project and knows it inside out, explains why the government decided to give the contract: "Because it was the best bid." Chinese Ambassador to Montenegro Fan Kun explains the significance of the "road of friendship," while Hei Shiqiang, general manager of China Road and Bridge Corporation, talks about how people worked as one on the project, despite their differences.

    Did France use gold and diamond instead of concrete to build their highway? They pay 4x or more per Km than any other countries.

    I am ashamed by our the Straits Times! They use western mainstream media for news report on China which always carry negative narratives. The newspapers journalists themselves (singaporean and foreigners) wrote articles that carry negative opinions about China. Often repeat China threat here and there but never say about US threats, genocides, invasion of many countries killing millions of innocents.

    Serbia is landlocked and for all kinds of reasons wanted access to a "friendly(ier)" seaport to develop its economy. Montenegro wanted to take advantage of that as it has a small economy. This, I think, was one of the main purposes of this highway: to connect Serbia to a Montenegro port.
