The claim is it will help Chinese goods into Greece and the Balkans and make export costs cheaper by avoiding a Turkish canal. Feel free to comment the cons of this as well since we're not complacency riding pussies.

From a purely economic/utilitarian perspective, it makes sense/cost effective. On a spiritual/racial level, China is avoiding the Mongoloid warrior-descended nation in the region, the natural leader, while rewarding a bunch of greasy ajam-affiliated Caucasoids who have nothing to do with us and hate the Turks precisely becuz of their ancient Mongoloid lineage. Does anyone remember Xi meeting with the British queen about 2 years ago and prioritizing UK over other Euro nations? Of all nations, the fucking UK.....
