2021: US forces Croatia to abandon Chinese investment in Rijeka port
Washington used diplomacy, declassified intelligence and other tools to persuade NATO ally Croatia to exclude China from the project at the port of Rijeka.
When information about the port reconstruction deal emerged in 2020, alarm bells sounded in Washington: Three Chinese state-owned companies won a tender for a 50-year deal to build and operate a new state-of-the-art container transshipment terminal in Rijeka, a deep-sea port with easy access to central European markets.
American diplomacy, combined with pressure from the EU, ultimately helped block Chinese ambitions, sources said in 2023. In January 2021, the Croatian government canceled the tender without explanation.
The effort to block China's access to the port, details of which have not been previously reported, provides insight into how American officials are working as part of a broader strategy to counter Beijing's influence in Europe.
