Italy Considers Good Relations with China Without Belt and Road

TL;DR Summary
Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that Italy can maintain good relations with China even without being part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Italy's participation in the Chinese program is set to be renewed automatically for five more years in March 2024 if neither side withdraws with a three-month notice. Critics note that Rome's decision to enter the China-led group did not improve its trade deficit with Beijing.
