Minister of Energy and Mining of RS, Petar Đokić, recently deemed the demands of Chinese companies, which submitted bids for the construction of the Buk Bijela hydroelectric power plant, as unfair, particularly regarding responses related to disputes before the Constitutional Court of BiH and UNESCO. However, such a move is expected, as the business logic of the Chinese mostly involves seeking state property with "clean" documents as collateral. Journal's interlocutors analyze the Chinese interest in BiH and the region, whether China is a political actor in these areas, why corrosive Chinese capital is controversial, and how opacity creates a certain level of suspicion and mistrust.
