en lang bue udenom Europa

I have no idea what this means! I'm thinking "give Europe a very wide berth".....Any suggestions? Here's the whole context:
Lou Jiwei, chef for China Investment Corp., som er en investeringsfond, der bestyrer en del af Kinas enorme valutareserver, vil gå en lang bue udenom Europa, hvor han ikke føler sig velkommen.

will go nowhere near Europe
My suggestion
Example sentence:
Dedek said investors were being irrational in failing to comprehend that all privatisation inflows, estimated at over 10 billion euros this year, will go nowhere near the market, either being stashed in euros or sold into the CNB's reserves.
But if China has its way, its own dispute with Taiwan will go nowhere near the organisation's Geneva headquarters.
