"On Wednesday, the Greek Central Archaeological Council unanimously turned down Cosco’s expansion plan in Piraeus, effectively rendering half the town as an archaeological site. Cosco is now barred from constructing a mall next to a new cruise ship terminal, and is also facing restrictions on a five-star hotel set to be built in the Porto Leone area, in the southern section of the port where the cruise terminal is located".
"The fact that nearly all the projects in Cosco’s master plan have met with opposition from one stakeholder or another highlights doubts about whether the Chinese firms taking part in the “Belt and Road Initiative” – an ambitious transcontinental infrastructure project promoted by the central government – have been prepared to deal with local political considerations in the dozens of countries involved in the project"
