The coalition led by the Brothers of Italy won Italy’s general election on Sept. 25. The party’s leader Giorgia Meloni will become the country’s first female prime minister. The Chinese communist regime and its official media reacted to Meloni’s victory with a warning and negative prediction, as Meloni has expressed strong support for Taiwan and vowed to pull out from China’s “Belt and Road” initiatives (BRI) after entering office.
The regime’s mouthpiece Xinhua said in an article on Sept. 27, quoting a French scholar, “The new Italian government in the future may no longer be a ‘positive force’ within the EU, as it sees the EU as a constraint.”
