Here are the anti-China objectives of the Biden-G20 plan on infrastructure

At the G20, the United States announced an infrastructure plan to connect India, the Middle East and Europe.

The United States and its allies intend to build rail and maritime infrastructure that can connect India with the Middle East and Europe.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE AMERICAN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN

This massive infrastructure, which was outlined in broad terms at the G20 , includes not just India but Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Israel and the EU.

The aims of this project are quite clear: on the one hand this project would do nothing but strengthen American global hegemony and on the other it would contain the Chinese expansionist drive.

COSTS

At present, the timing for the implementation nor the costs of this project have been indicated.

In any case, in relation to this project it is significant that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman claimed that the figure for the construction of this infrastructure would be around 20 billion, although it is not clear whether this figure concerns the construction of the infrastructure as a whole or the Saudi contribution. The crown prince's announcement, however, is indicative because it is equivalent to the Saudi desire to overcome recent misunderstandings.

AFRICA

Alongside this infrastructure project, a trans-African corridor has also been announced which should connect the port of Lobito with the province of Kananga in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the copper mining regions of Zambia. Also in this case it is a question of the United States strengthening its hegemony to the detriment of the increasingly pervasive Chinese presence in Africa.
