In Africa, Europe’s Global Gateway is not challenging Beijing — it is entangled with it

Rather than challenging China, Europe’s Global Gateway is increasingly entangled with it. Tshuma argues that Europe’s digital governance model, while distinct, must contend with China’s dominance in financing and infrastructure, a reality that complicates any clear-cut rivalry. Europe, the US and China are increasingly bound by overlapping economic stakes. Tshuma advises the EU to focus on its strengths, while not losing sight of its core objective: reducing poverty and inequality.
