La Cina e il Mediterraneo nella “nuova era” di Xi Jinping

Global China OrizzonteCina

[IT] Nell’era della cosiddetta connettività eurasiatica, fortemente promossa dal Presidente cinese Xi Jinping, mentre si aggiornano costantemente le rotte e le mappe delle “nuove Vie della Seta”, appare sempre più evidente la centralità del bacino del Mediterraneo, ineludibile punto d’arrivo della proiezione cinese verso occidente.

      “American actions have provided significant impetus for BRICS and SCO members to draw closer. While Brazil’s and India’s relations with China remain complicated, SCO and BRICS nonetheless offer them platforms to demonstrate that the US is not their only partner of consequence. They can also position themselves as leading actors in advancing a world order less centred on the West.
