China is increasing its economic influence in the United Arab Emirates as the numbers of construction projects and visitors in the country increases, property services firm JLL has said. “This is part of the One Belt, One Road [initiative] with the purpose of expanding [China's] economic influence across central Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe,” said JLL's Marko Vucinic. He added: “The goal is to invest in infrastructure [along these routes]. “We’re seeing a similar trend in other emirates. The UAE will be a key player for this.” China sees the UAE as one of [its] major trading partners.”
