Italy – The BRI is a new paradigm for humankind towards a share destiny

When UK joined the AIIB, the Americans freak out. The dam of opposition against this China initiative was broken and the rest of Europe and other pro western countries took the cue and joined AIIB as well leaving the Americans alone in the wilderness. But although the AIIB was a key pillar to support the BRI project, some of the key European countries ironically are still resisting to join the BRI. The western narrative is that BRI is a Chinese strategy to divide Europe, to invade and colonise Europe. The ludicrous narrative from Washington and major European capitals is unbelievable. The assets are built in their soil and they have complete control over them and could seize them for any false flag incidents or fabricated excuses.
 

China’s BRI or the New Silk Road is about building connectivity, roads and rails and sea routes to connect Europe and Africa through Central Asia to China that would improve and facilitate communication and transportation for trade. It is not about building walls like what Trump wanted to keep countries and people apart. And according to the western anti China narrative, this BRI is bad and would lead to war.
 

Italy is now standing up to challenge the American and western narrative by looking at the BRI as a new paradigm for a community of humankind, a share common future and destiny for humankind. And Italy is going to be the first G7 country to break the dam of resistance and lead Europe into the BRI. Italy is not the first European country to do so. 13 other European countries have already signed MOU on the BRI with China, including Spain, Portugal, Greece and many East European countries.
 

The Italian initiative to break ranks with the Americans and G7 countries has caused a major uproar in the US and the Americans freak out again, literally. The Americans even warned the Italians not to sign the MOU or face consequences as if the Italians are joining forces with China militarily to go to war with the Americans.
 

Italy is not going to be told what to do against its national interest like Germany is not going to stop using Huawei’s 5G technology because the Americans said so. Like the East European countries, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece have joined the new poor of European countries. Together they see hope in the BRI to bring economic growth, trade and development for their countries. Many cities in France and Germany, two major European countries still sharing the same hostile thinking as the Americans in opposing China for political reasons, are going against their govts and want to be part of the BRI.
 

The BRI and the immense benefits it is bringing to all the 156 countries in the project are too good to resist. Italy is not going to miss the boat. The BRI is going to revive the deteriorating economy of the Italians and this is a new hope to stimulate growth in Italy, linking Italy to Central Asia and China and also to Africa.
 

Nothing is going to stop Italy, not cry wolf rhetoric, and Italy is going to do the right thing for its own good. Xi Jinping is visiting Italy in the next couple of days to welcome Italy into the BRI. Once done, all the defences and negative allegations against China and the BRI would break down, and the rest of Europe would fall in line.
 

The last bastion of resistance is the USA. Would it be left out in the cold alone again, or would it also fall in and be part of the new paradigm of a common destiny for all humankind, a more connected world and grow and prosper together instead of warmongering, starting and fighting wars?

PS. Schiller Institute’s Helga Zepp LaRouche enthusiastically welcomed the decision by Italy to sign an MOU with China, to join the Belt-and-Road Initiative (BRI), as it demonstrates that the City of London geopolitical networks are losing their ability to dictate policy in Europe.

Back in the early 2000s, even the Italian Embassy was already struggling to pay the rentals of the properties rented for their staff?

Met one banker in 2005 who owns several properties bought during the SARS period.

He recounted how difficult it is to get paid punctually every month.

When he handed over the property to the agent, everything already checked through and in order.

But each time rental is due and payment easily more than a month behind schedule, the house maciam in ruin like that so many complaints from the resident about this spoil, that spoil to buy time for money to be remitted from home country?

Singapore is not accepted by China as part of the BRI because Singapore leaders, especially the pro-India ministers, keep sabotaging themselves. They that they were punching above their weight. In fact, they were punxhing themselves silly.

Italy wants to cooperate with China because of tremendous benefits - imagine what four new modern ports can do when one is already a significant advantage to facilitate sea-route trades in the Mediterranean Sea!

Malaysia is stupid to have cancelled China out. In this aspect Tun Najib has better foresight than Dr Mahathir. Basically, Dr Mahathir is behaving like Dotard Trump - cancelling all contracts and agreements signed by the previous administration. Such action does not speak well for the country and the cancellor.

The issue of the Kra Canal may still be brought up again. The new Thai King is very different from his father. If there is money to make for Thailand and the Thai people, he may just approve it.

If approved, the Kra Project may take at least ten years to materialized. By then the present Singapore leaders would either have stepped down or stepped out. The new team could then start to wonder why and how they have been screwed and had to swallow the bitter pill.

Perhaps by then, when the senses wake up, Singapore could offee China as a military base instead of the US.

@ RB

Italy and the BRI have a historical precedent: Marco Polo and The Silk Road. The Italians are a sentimenatal people.

American gangsterism at it's ugliest is there for all to see. Pure evil!

It is just like the old days, where people, especially small businesses, are warned by gangsters that they must pay them protection money, kowtow to them, follow their rules or are threatened with harm.

The US threatened countries that used Huawei telecommunication equipment, and that they must boycott Huawei or else... Now the US is warning countries that wants to join the BRI or else...The same old tactics. Countries cannot deal with the enemies of the US. What kind of fucking gangster logic is that?

Any wonder why countries want to go nuclear like North Korea? Fuck the US of course! Trump has been fucked big time by Kim. And he and his administration think that he is winning all the time, despite the obvious humiliation at the hands of Kim, who is carrying on with his missile building projects like nothing has happened.

A little interest on what Anon 9.58 brought up on Mahathir.

Coincidentally Mahathir is calling Trump unpredictable. The pot calling the kettle black.

Mahathir has to appear walking the talk that he promised at GE14 and that is getting rid of Najib over 1 MDB and all his projects. But as most of the projects are undertaken by Chinese developers, financially and on the ground, cancelling them means getting into the bad books of China and that is why he is now cosying up to China for damage control. But never trust this sly old snake. He is as unpredictable as Dotard.

But his days are short in office for now. The question on everybody's mind is will he move aside for Anwar? And the question is what kind of a personality is Anwar? Some are not so sure that Anwar will be any different from the old man. As they say, only birds of a feather can flock together. How true is that going to be?
