I mean lets do Business China is a big spender in eastern and Central Europe its a basement pretty much match those of the e. U. Beijings already announced a three billion dollar fund and ten billion in credit lines for the region now with the opening of it and you will todays summit between china and sixteen incident Central European nations chinese premier. Lake and sons of his country seeks to weaken e. U. Unity he promised to respect european standards and fair trade the backdrop to all this chinas massive Global Infrastructure and Advancement Program known as the belt Road Initiative. It by not look like much but this will soon be the site of a Four Hundred Twenty Million Euro Bridge Spanning the adriatic. Its fine in some part with chinese money. Projects like these are intended to build a bridge between beijing and states in eastern and southern europe. Beijing hopes
of further cement its foothold in europe for its belt and Road Initiative it would see china secure Transit Corridor for its products from beijing to the heart of the continent. This is the plan site of a new high speed Rail Connection between serbia and member hungry. Once completed it would be a direct link for chinese goods from the built in roads he wrote into the e. U. And china isnt just focusing on trade its invested in this power plant in bosniaherzegovina as well. And is helping expand this one in Serbia Beijing is financing Infrastructure Projects throughout the region bypassing typical Contract Bidding by offering cheap loans. But European Union observers warn those loans could come at a high price and they warn china could use them as a socalled debt trap which would see china forcing partner countries to make painful political or financial concessions if they fail to repay their debts. But
despite the warnings theres no sign Chinese Investment in the region has become less welcome. To talk about this in frankfurt conrad is this welcome money or are european nations falling into a chinese debt trap because china is now just out of grace i should add to its Eastern European Business Initiative taking the sixteen to seventy. Well of course many politicians here in europe many people who are interested in civil rights in a liberal society are anxious that the chinese mike use their money that they might use their influence to push their their way of doing things and that they might force their ideas on the communities on the nations that borrow from them on the other hand we have to keep in mind that the whole idea of global trade is about exchange every year billions of euros worth of goods made in
china a sold here in europe among them i phones sneakers made in china but with the brand added us for example if we want those goods we have to allow the chinese to invest some of the money of course also here in europe what about doing business there on a level Playing Field again weve heard the chinese welcoming two way openness but thats not what their offer. Thats true and you know china with its offer to offer retiree and centralized governments of course has an opportunity compared to opportunity and advantage compared to the European Union which is not even a nation very difficult to deal with multilateral body thats why the nations of the you have to make sure that they are not divided these are the chinese is they where you are correct what i want to do about this next story has given us
a look under the hood of its business as it prepares to go public growth is strong but the ride sharing app may never make a profit a different story for key shareholders softbank it stands to make a huge amount from hoovers an initial Public Offering next month that it had soft bank c. E. O. Must yoshi sun even more cash to invest in mobility the japanese entrepreneur has already Sixty Billion Dollars into the sector hes one of the power plays influencing how people and goods move around the globe. Conrad one man so much power. Very much power and a very Clever Investor thats why thats why many people in the financial world are quite optimistic about this i. P. O. A couple of reasons mr sawyer he became an investor in at a very late stage its likely that he would moves on this investment if he used
this i. P. O. For an exit you know for an opportunity to make some cash and also the vision fund all for mr sun soft bank is known to be very interested in long Term Investments in the whole idea that might turn out to become a platform for mobility with all different kinds of services and technologies and that makes many people on the markets hope that you know the share price of it will not sink after the i. P. O. Thank you very much for her analysis contribution in frankfurt for us and talking about japan japans workforces project its usually by a fifth in the next two decades according to the World Economic forum a rapidly aging population is mostly to blame over a quarter of japanese or of a sixty five its basically the Oldest Country in the world its also a problem elsewhere especially in wealthier countries japan the other top ten oldest nations can also be found all be found here in europe so what can be done
well you can increase migration japan as the new law that allows low skilled workers from abroad to come for five years thats proving controversial. The population of japan is aging the demographics are evident in retirement and Nursing Homes the number of residents is climbing the number of caretakers is falling one possible answer could be migration something japan has resisted. Mr moises Isnt Japanese so unusual. That. Hes very friendly and im very grateful to him. Moises martinez comes from venezuela only two percent of the People Living in japan are foreigners he was married to a japanese woman she died but he was allowed to stay to begin with he was given the
cold shoulder by locals social contact with foreigners is rare in this Island Nation where even today few speak english and immigration is rare and usually called to the job its a good while the. Other time i go back home. Thats all you see. At the heart of the language. The hardest part is better to learn. Before you entered this business but theres been strong resistance to migration it took pressure from the countrys businesses to ensure that Three Hundred Fifty Thousand killed workers now enter the country to work in different sectors. And for no more than five years migration activists say thats unfair. I think its an a phobia despite the realities the theory of an ethnically homogenous nation is
still firmly rooted in japan but japan can only be preserved by japanese they only want to have to deal with themselves. That Moises Martinez feels at home in japan has lived here for almost thirty years but the new influx of migrants who will soon be taking on work on Construction Sites and farms in fishing or in hotels will soon discover that their presence here is not without controversy. And lets talk about this with Michael Paine president of the news agency in tokyo another Foreigner Michael why the Controversy Dont The Japanese see whats happening demographically to their way of life basically. Well certainly i mean the you know intellectually or theoretically japan has known for a long time that its an aging society and that its workforce is beginning to
shrink in not just the workforce i mean actually every year now theres about Three Hundred Thousand less people in japan because the death rate is so much higher than the birth rate less than a Million People were born in japan last year so the fact that the demography is changing is very clear but on the other hand you know as your package mention theres also a great reluctance about you know immigration is especially on a larger scale there is immigration and there are more foreigners here but you know the japanese dont want that sort of small river to become a flood. For a lot of cultural reasons and because you know this is a nation that for you know more than three centuries was was isolated from the entire world so theres a there there is a sense of community and a common culture in japan which they preserve for a long time they culture is so different and there was so missed so many
misunderstandings that can they can happen a miscommunication between the japanese and foreigners i know walking in say restaurants that you often get first this sign which means come in if youre foreigner. Whats it like being a foreigner in japan so you. Well you know ive been here i guess what about twenty two years and you do see i have seen changes over that period of time you know what you speak about in terms of you know lets say twenty years ago you know there was a lot more japanese to you know if they saw a foreigner they startle and get shocked and and a little bit afraid and they they they would you know i mean they were usually were nice and polite but you can see that they were feeling very tense you know when they saw a foreigner talking to them or addressing them even if you spoke japanese. In tokyo in the major cities at least that kind of. Startled reaction is much less
common now theyre much more used to seeing foreigners you walk down the street and youre going to see people from all nations in japan not only residents but also tourists so in some rural areas maybe there are still some adjustments being made but japan is getting more used to foreigners here ok lets leave it there thank you very much for joining us Michael Paine president of the she gets to news agency inside.
