“Boris Johnson and Joe Biden could set up infrastructure fund to counter China influence

Boris Johnson said to have raised prospect of 'green alternative' to initiative that has seen Beijing lend billions to poorer countries

Boris Johnson and Joe Biden, the US president, want to set up an infrastructure fund to pay for new roads and bridges in the developing world to counter China's growing influence.

The idea was raised by Mr Johnson in Downing Street talks with some of the UK politicians sanctioned by China late last week.

The Prime Minister is understood to have referred to them as "warriors in the fight for free speech" who have his "full-throated support", expressing bafflement at Beijing's "ridiculous" actions during the private meeting.”

“One source said Mr Johnson had raised the prospect of a "green alternative" to China's £774 billion Belt and Road Initiative, which has seen Beijing lend billions of pounds to poorer countries to spend on maritime, energy, road and rail projects.”

Yeah and that money easily buy 10 times more real world work equivalent because China makes it happen using their own businesses/workforce - otherwise it would have been enough for 5 HS2s - 700 miles of moderately fast railway

Is this fund from tax payers money? Will is be a ltd company named "Global infrastructure Global Britain ltd" and owned by the wife of Tory peer?

Then bung it £774 billion and who knows, maybe it will deliver pot of paint, to put some double yellow lines on the road to improve infrastructure.
