According to Lianhe Zaobao, Italy Prime Minister Meloni, who is visiting China, announced in Beijing on the 28th that he would sign a three-year action plan to restart cooperation with China. Bloomberg quoted Meloni as saying that she hopes to restart bilateral cooperation between Italy and China, and said that the two countries will also try new ways of cooperation.
It is reported that Italy Prime Minister Meloni arrived in Beijing on the 27th to start her five-day visit to China. It is worth noting that this time she came with her daughter, which is relatively rare. Meloni is considered a right-wing "hardliner" in Italy's political circles, and after coming to power, she brazenly withdrew from China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative, which the Italy government had previously joined, despite China's advice.
This time, she paid a high-profile visit to China despite United States pressure, and also brought a huge political and business delegation to visit China. This time, Meloni Opportunity signed a "three-year action plan" with China to strengthen cooperation in the fields of trade, investment, education, industry, environmental protection and food security.
In fact, at present, the EU has experienced the heavy blow of the Russian-Ukrainian war, losing cheap energy and raw materials from Russia, coupled with United States's "digging into the wall" and financial bloodsucking. The economy of the European Union has already been hit hard, not to mention Italy, and even the strongest Germany is not in a good economic situation. Italy has suffered a severe recession and inflation, and urgently needs outside help.
In addition to mending Sino-Italian relations, Meloni's high-profile visit to China this time also seeks cooperation with China to solve the economic difficulties faced by Italy. As for whether the United States side is uncomfortable, it is estimated that Italy can no longer care about it at this time. The most important thing is that United States's control over European countries has further declined, and even more importantly, Trump is about to return to the White House.
Bloomberg quoted Meloni as saying that Italy wants to restart bilateral cooperation between Italy and China, and said that the two countries will also try new ways of cooperation to replace the "One Belt, One Road" initiative that was withdrawn from the beginning. For United States, it is very fatal for China and Europe to enter cooperation again. But at present, the United States, whether Biden or Trump, does not care about these things.
Whether it is Biden's Democratic Party or Trump's Republican Party, the most important thing is to save your life and win the United States election. For us, China, China and Europe are natural geopolitical allies, so as long as Europe is willing to cooperate with us, we will not refuse.
At present, the global game between China and the United States is intensifying, and we must unite all forces that can be united. As long as China and Europe cooperate in mutual benefit, the Cold War bloc confrontation that the United States wants to engage in will not be able to get started. As long as China and the EU are open and win-win, the de-globalization that Trump hopes for will not gain momentum. As long as Europe does not completely turn to United States or even remain neutral, then United States will not be able to stand up and will undoubtedly lose in the game with China.
In the EU, Hungary, Germany, France, Italy and other countries are all partners we can strive for. And the right-wing of Germany and Italy is actually most afraid of the deep control of the country's United States, as well as the US military bases and United States GIs stationed in the country. If Germany returns to normalcy, then United States will completely lose control of Europe, and that is the most important thing.
