Italy to join up with China's economic juggernaut
By EUOBSERVER
Italy is to sign up to China's Belt and Road Initiative in a memorandum by the end of March, the Financial Times newspaper reports, citing Michele Geraci, an Italian official as saying "it is possible that it will be concluded in time for [Chinese President Xi Jinping's] visit," to the country. The economic link-up comes amid EU and US concern on Chinese acquisitions of strategic Western firms.
