“Italy’s moves reflect a growing alignment with the United States and like-minded partners, while also acknowledging the need to reduce vulnerabilities created by excessive dependence on China in critical supply chains and technologies. Rather than a dramatic shift, Rome is pursuing a cautious recalibration: expanding its presence in the Indo-Pacific without framing it as a confrontational posture.”

Enrico Fardella (ChinaMed Project, T.wai & University of Naples L’Orientale) is interviewed in the article “Is Italy becoming an Indo-Pacific Power?” on Decode39.
