Meloni Tells China That Italy Plans to Exit Belt and Road

  Cutting ties with the World's largest market is a good way to force your country into a Recession. Good move! "Hi foot, meet bullet!"

    ? Germany has more trade with China and they aren't in the belt. Their actions are pretty sane. Ps. Trade imbalance with China is also a thing and China is the only country in deflation. Additionally, there are tons of reasons to derisk from China. Main point is: the road and belt is overrated. Not many countries benefited ( not any that I'm aware of), after 10 years, most participating countries just have more debts and nothing to show for. "Funding" through one road one belt dried up a long time ago.

    China and Italy face similar structural demographic challenges, and there are stronger consumer markets elsewhere for Italy to pursue considering China's slowing economy [1]. I’m unsure more infra investment in Italy would pay off to be honest.

    Cut ties, or rethink getting involved in a basic debt trap when the short term gain isn’t as attractive? (esp. as the Chinese economic model falters).
