Of course, no surprise either. Why do you think that Chinese invest so much in foreign seaports, airports, highways, railways? To bring telecom everywhere why their own phone brands. To take over foreign telecom? This is just to check and control everything from a certain moment. If you see this as a Belgian joke, hmmm, open your eyes my friend.
Hmm, to give you another example. A huge building next to the European Parliament in Brussels was bought and reconstructed by a Chinese company. The intelligence after discovered that it was full of electronic to spy the parliament...

China refutes Belgian politician’s ‘baseless’ claim about Chinese spies gaining access to Alibaba’s logistics hub at Liege Airport
  • China’s embassy in Belgium refuted the “baseless allegations” by a local politician about Alibaba’s logistics hub giving access to Chinese spies
  • China’s government never demands Chinese companies to conduct any activity that breaches local laws and regulations, the embassy said
If the Chinese say so...

He's not really known as a good CEO in Luxemburg.
Nobody seems to regret him at Luxair...

And on the very same facebook page, it's mentioned that that location is normally dedicated to the HAYRPORT project (H2 factory) 🤔🤔🤔
Is it compatible ?
