Giovanni B. Andornino and Giuseppe Gabusi (T.wai & University of Turin) took part to the online seminar “50th Anniversary of Sino-Italian Relations”, jointly organized by the Center for Mediterranean Area Studies, directed by Enrico Fardella (T.wai & Peking University), and the Institute of Area Studies of Peking University. The event was mentioned in a report by Chinese Social Sciences Net (CSSN).
