 The US and China are embroiled in a rumbling trade war. But where does that leave Europe? Beijing's long-term economic strategy passes through the Belt and Road Initiative. This trillion-euro project is bringing China closer to Europe, through the development of ports, railways and pipelines for oil and gas. Chinese money is pouring into Europe in almost every sector.

For three months, Investigate Europe's reporters travelled the continent, from Valencia in Spain to the Arctic port of Quirkinus. What we found was not always what you might expect.
