Chinese love things Italian, wine, food, cars, etc. l love “0 Sole Mio”.
The relationship between Italy and China was established centuries before USA was born. And it’s OK overall except for the century of humiliation.
Italy isn't a puppet of EU or the US. Why it can't it makes independent decisions beneficial to its population?
Have seen Spain also visit China for trade partnership same as Italy.
Italians are the priority not the EU sanctions against china
Italy could draw a good lesson from Germany and France which are failing for following US blindly.
Pork and wine cause Seismic shift to a multipolar world order
EU leaders only serve US goverment policies without any consideration of what best for EU themselves , no wonder many EU countries will reject and walk in own path for their own good.
Each state in the EU should be able to make its own sovereign decision.
Italy withdrew from China's BRI due to external pressure. The question is whether the same external pressure will force Itlay to reconsider its trade relations with China. Spain voted not to impose Tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its market.
EU is facing baoying baoying baoying 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
That's why G7 becomes G1. Italy is the G1. The other G6 country leaders either already collapsed or are going to, very fast.
We Indians love super power China. From India
The EU leadership got to be realistic and drop its holier than thou attitude. It’s easier to work with China than fight it.
Von De Liar no longer has idiot Biden to take instructions from … and Ursula is terrified of Trump. Giorgia Meloni is prepared to act in the interests of the Italian people by re-establishing mutually beneficial economic ties with China. Meanwhile other subservient EU nations including Germany are finding that decoupling or derisking from China is like kicking an own-goal as they sink into recessions of their own making.
Better to be a friend of china than one of the US.
Care full china…ahe will be in US soon to kiss the RING
I think the EU is coming apart a bit. Maloni's approach could be seen as noble with Italy's interest at heart. Courting Argentina, China, Elon Musk as she does – it might be possible to keep her integrity intact and do what's best for Italy. That would be based on the idea that EU is no longer trustworthy or viable. She might not say as much but I suspect that is the underlying feeling. She also needs to recognise that European backing of the war in Ukraine is a big mistake.
Sorry, but what EU normes forbid an economic trade agreement with an asian country??
Don't forget that China was here way before US to be born as a nation , as you said, there was a cooperation between Italy and China since centuries! And why is wrong if other EU countries are also following this path?
I can bet that every dude , including you, bought cheaper chinese goods in life, never worrying about the local manufacturers , so, why the fuss?!
It's time to accept that EU doesn't serve the common citizen, but only the interests of some political alliances , like the one with US who transformed us in puppet countries with mega slowly development in all sections
Just think simple, without any influence, look to China ,then to US and Europe, you will understand what's beneficial for you
Why shall we follow NATO, a military alliance meant to protect us, if NATO started the most wars in the world since WW2 ,pretending that it's in the name of the peace, when it's all about its own interest and domination, keeping the world under control and allowing them (US) to plunder left and right??
Wake up, Europe, when it's not too late!
European countries getting sense at last
Collaboration, not brain dead trade war, is the way forward.
We are getting sick and tired of Brussels telling us who we can talk to, who we can sell to, who we can play with. We are a sovereign country, we should decide to do what is best for us as a country.
👍🏼
EU is dying under American influence. Time for member countries to abandon the sinking ship.
Why is it that makes journalists
so negative about China? To be
sure….it’s a rhetorical question!
It’s the pay check from the
FASCIST owners! Absurd to
the point of criticising a right
wing government for doing
what is in the best interest
of their citizens!
Congrats italy to make this step. Just get rid of this EU, it's a shame what the EU has done to Europe, especially under Ursula von der Leyen. The best thing that can happen to Europe is if the EU dies. Europe must free itself from this corrupt organization. It is only a matter of time before the EU goes under. Europe does not need an EU but an economic alliance but without parliament. You also have to see that the Roman Empire has been trading with China for 2000 years. That's why this is the right step for Italy.
Italian shoes 👞 with Python leather are luxurious things in Chinese people
Italy and China have very similar cultures, people love their country, food, agricultural products and billions of dollars of trade; they need each other more than the political platforms of the East and the West.
Italy is unreliable. It joined the Belt and Road, then soon after it exited. Why?
Italians ALSO have a deep connection to China – 'the Marco Polo Effect'. (I coined this effect.)
Italians should know von der lying is a lapdog for the US.
von der lying is a 'shameful traitor'.
Of course they do turn to China. Otherwise they will be dealing with idiots like von der Leyen or Trump forever. Who wants to sucrifice their well-being for Nazzis and Communists?
Ursula Von Der Lyon and the EU Commission are trying to destroy the EU>
Weren't we suposed to avoid China and is all you need now. Acusó a Mexico of bringuing chinese products and now they wanted
My dear Mr Vondemark you make strong judgement on many countries , but my humble opinion you're a little bit too young for this exercise . You need a little more time and different source of information to make you ready for this kind of videos .
