China’s influence in Romania – and 81 other states: an index with 99 dimensions grouped in 9 sections. Why am I not surprised that the biggest attraction for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Romania is among the academic elite and domestic politics (the latter with caveats, that it is mostly about people from intelligence, active or retired, dubious politicians and conmen). In link you can find a good database with scores and critical incidents allowing cross-country comparisons. EFOR cooperated in this project of DoubleThink Lab (DTL), a foundation from Taiwan. Next week we will come back with a survey on the public perception of China in 13 countries, including Romania. See full database here
