Description

A trickier version of the "EU should join BRI" debate. Pro will argue that benefits outweigh harms if EU chooses to join the BRI. Con argues harm outweighs benefits.

Burden of Proof is shared.

Beneficial for who? The general public. The world. Beneficial in what way? We will argue what impacts are the most important and why they matter.

Explanation: With the original premise, there's many problems that EU fails to resolve by joining BRI. However, this premise assumes a world where EU joins regardless, and does not care about non-unique harms (Ex: Uighers being oppressed either way) and thus may be trickier to argue for Con.

I will note CON, there are plenty of good args for the CON position so it's not unwinnable. Undefeatable's feedback includes some good ones
