China’S New Strategy! 3 Countries Replace Italy’S Position in The Belt and Road | This SHOCKED Italy

#china #chinanews #europe #italy #türkiye #greece ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ As a major international cooperation platform proposed by China, the “One Belt, One Road” initiative has now become one of the most influential and attractive international projects in the world today. The ambitious plan aims to create a vast network across Asia, Europe and Africa through infrastructure development and economic cooperation. However, as the influence of the Belt and Road Initiative expands, some Western countries begin to regard it as a threat. Not only do they label the Belt and Road Initiative a “debt trap“, they also use rhetoric such as “geostrategic threat“ to prevent more country’s accession. On March 23, 2019, Italy, under the leadership of former Prime Minister Romano Prodi, signed a memorandum of understanding on the construction of the “Belt and Road” with China, becoming the first G7 country to join this initiative. This decision is not only an important step in Italy’s pursuit of broader international cooperation, but also an important turning point in its foreign policy. However, this decision has been met with concern by Western countries. Because they believe that Italy is an important member of the G7, deepening economic cooperation with China may increase China’s influence in Europe and may pose a threat to European unity and security. As the political situation evolves, Italy has begun to have doubts about the actual benefits of the Belt and Road Initiative. Especially after Prime Minister Meloni’s in-depth exchanges with US President Biden, Italy began to consider whether it should withdraw from this initiative. Until September this year, when Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani visited China, he expressed his hope to officially end the cooperative relationship with the “Belt and Road Initiative“ on the basis of maintaining future bilateral cooperative relations. But for China, Italy’s withdrawal did not have much impact, because China has successfully found three countries as replacements. These countries are not only key connecting points between Asia and Europe, but are even more strategic than Italy is important. So, what exactly caused Italy to be forced to withdraw from the “One Belt, One Road” initiative? What advantages do these three newly joined countries have that enable them to effectively replace Italy’s role? ----------------------------------------------
