[01] Beijing pleased with PM Tsipras' visit, say diplomatic sources
Chinese diplomatic sources said they are very pleased with the results
of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' official visit to Beijing, Greek
government sources said on Tuesday.
"The agreement on Piraeus port is the 'head of the dragon' in the
Sino-Greek cooperation," the sources said, noting that this deal will
lead to a wider cooperation in various sectors and will establish Greece
as an important station in Beijing's strategy for "One zone, one road".
"China now considers Greece as its strategic partner in the European Union
and hopes to see Athens as the 'head of the dragon' in the framework of
Sino-EU cooperation," the sources added.
The reference to a "head of the dragon" relates to a Chinese proverb
which states that to move the dragon, you must first move its head.
