President Xi Jinping’s warm welcome for the Italian prime minister offers a pointed reminder to European leaders of the economic benefits of engaging with China — and also of the potential risks. #politics #china #xijinping #meloni #italy #europe #worldnews

Italian diplomats hailed Giorgia Meloni’s five-day trip as a success after she secured a sit-down with Xi and a clutch of cooperation deals, as well as glowing reviews in Chinese state media. To pull that off, she avoided criticizing her host for supporting Russia’s war machine or overcapacity in key tech industries, according to public statements, though did warn trade ties between Italy and China must be rebalanced.

Her reception suggests Beijing is seeking to fan tensions between European Union members with the promise of lucrative bilateral ties for some, even as the 27-nation bloc as a whole moves closer to the tougher US approach to trade with the world’s no. 2 economy.

  16. To be successful as a country or individual you make friends with successful countries or individuals and learn from them. My mother and teachers taught me that and definitely right. Corporation, collaboration and mutual benefit and friendship always better than wars. So easy to understand.

  29. There's no such thing as overcapacity. Do we say the US has an overcapacity of media and seek to out tariffs on Hollywood and social media companies? Do we say the US has overcapacity of guns?
    Truly one of the dumbest propagandist charges.

  37. Russia also helped Italy a lot during the C. With medical personnel and medical equipment. It is not the first time that Russia helps Italy, but our government has forgotten why we are dominated by the USA. In Italy we have 300 American military bases and we must obey the US government. We have no sovereignty but only submission
