    • Abstract:
      The author talks about the effort of China to welcome Italy into its Belt and Road Initiative, a plan to unite East and West with railways, ports and tunnels and other infrastructure projects. The program also aims to transform China's economic strength at home into undisputed geopolitical power abroad. The concern of the European Union and the U.S. about Italy's enrollment into the program is cited. The possibility that U.S. President Donald Trump will bring his trade war to Europe is noted.
