'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.

This amazing high difficulty highway in Montenegro shows the Chinese technical engineering prowess. 💪 This China-built highway is path to economic growth
Such a benefit to the local community. Well done Montenegro and China 🇲🇪❤️🇨🇳
It was a great success...hao chenggong. So glad to hear this and seven years in the making.
Groovy ride. It' was a simple pleasure to discover that project. Keep on building.
Did France use gold and diamond instead of concrete to build their highway? They pay 4x or more per Km than any other countries.

Reunion. Island, where the French built the road, is an Island in the Indian Ocean several hundred kilometers off of Madagascar, quite mountainous.

Those "colateral" expenses are due to France's third largest militar base. France is an abusive racist and supremacist country like USA, Great Britain and thug allies.

Well you know French needs to have continuous breaks and their meals almost always with wine hence they stay happy but not productive.
people in the global south deserve high quality infrasture too! well done
This young montenegro lady is not only very knowledgeable technically, but she is also very sweet and charming. This greatly facilitates the seamless communication between the two sides for a great win-win outcome. Congrats to both peoples.
Montenegro is smart to choose Chinese construction company to build this highway. If they chose French or Germany company, for sure it will be highway to debt.

Without watching the whole video, I can tell you that the negativity all came from the jealous US. The world's most powerful tool is their media outlets and their hosts of sponsored media platforms. You can find them in Singapore, Philippines, etc etc. Everything you need to know about China and Chinese built is nothing except negativity. Period!

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.

Actually, the "Singaporeans" newsreaders or journalists aren't really Chinese. Chinese blood never run through their veins. I have lived in Singapore b4. Saw their faces and found that they aren't Chinese. They're 贱民!

Western jealousy is due to their own incompetence and unable to compete with China hence the usual accusations of IP theft, copycat, national security are used within the Western allies who are US faithful poodles.
It was breathtaking and the beautiful scenery alongside the mountains and the river. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations Montenegro..! Now you need one on the coast, to connect with Croatia..!! The traffic is terrible in summer...
CHOOSE PEACE AND PROSPER
China excels in almost everything Especially building highways
Awesome construction, amazing PEACE
Critics could have come up with better, less expensive plans and Montenegro would have embraced them but no they (critics) can't, yet they call themselves champions of the free market
good language proficiency and confident host make the interview easier and smooth. Good program.
Montenegro is so tranquil and absolutely beautiful
Thank you China for a job well done. It had to take China to build this highway while the neighboring big European powers did not care.
Excellent presentation, interview and analysis 👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪
On the maps showing the route if you follow the coastline up to Croatia you will see a finger of land going out to the sea, at one point the South of Croatia is separated from the North by Bosnia and Herzegovina Neum area, this caused many problems so Croatia decided th build a bridge from the mainland to the finger of land, China have just completed it and it is fantastic, go on the Internet an see🏴🏴
Top notch engineering.
Thank you China! GOOD JOB!! 👍
Must European countries are not happy for others for their progress especially if China 🇨🇳 or Russian build their projects but if Brit build that will be privilege for them.
Base on The Mighty CCP China unbelievable and tremendous amount of track records with construction performances and undoubtedly the Chinese are absolutely king of all infrastructures creators 💯💪💪👍👍
Thanks for the insight, but I'm still confused why Bitcoin and crypto prices keep dropping? This drop follows a number of other significant drops in recent weeks. I still hold enormous value of cryptos and it scares me. Whats your take on this?
@erlangga6223
Жыл бұрын
There are many reasons for this drop in value. One of the main reasons is that there is an ongoing debate about whether or not Bitcoin should be regulated as a security or as a currency.

Those who could not do anything practically they have only weapon of criticism to prove themselves.its very unique project completed by Chinese for people of Montenegro.
I've had the pleasure to drive this highway 3 times already. One of the best I've seen in the world (and I've driven 120,000 km in the last 2 years, all over Europe). It will change Montenegro, day and night; this is huge.
The so called "controversy" and unfair criticism are from those who are jealous of China. When the host country (Montenegro) does no complain. Then why do they?

Great work but: we drove from Dubrovnik to Bar on the beautiful coastal road. We would NEVER drive on this highway, we want to enjoy every km of our vacation trips. Same in the US: since the Interstate highway system exists you now can drive from coast to coast without seeing anything.

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.
