| In the spring of 2016, China’s largest shipping company China Cosco Holding Co. (COSCO) acquired a majority stake in the Greek port of Piraeus. Scholars in China and Greece maintain that the move, coupled with a Chinese investment in the port in 2008, has bolstered Greece’s position as China’s gateway to European investors and merchants, particularly since the country maintains one of the world’s largest merchant fleets. As Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in response to the COSCO investment, “Greece, which is the first stop in China’s way to Europe, can become a bridge between China and the West, between Asia and Europe.” |
