Romania has seen minimal Chinese investment in its strategic sectors despite initial optimism. Projects like the Rovinari powerplant and Cernavodă Nuclear Powerplant faced delays or cancellation. Romania's pro-Western stance, legislative barriers, and strategic concerns over Chinese influence have redirected investments to Western partners. The geopolitical landscape, particularly post-Crimea annexation, has further entrenched Romania's alignment with Euro-Atlantic allies, reducing China's footprint in the region.
