“…Specifically, the Italian entrepreneurial and institutional systems appear less than dynamic with respect to the agility to these opportunities. Despite the encouraging prospects arising from new sectors of Chinese-Italian economic cooperation, Italy's lack of distribution channels, underdeveloped market and the unsystematic operation of her corporate sector over a tightly-knit institutional setup have often damaged the relationship (Andornino 2012).…”

Given its size and integration with the global economy, Chinese economic downturn could have momentous spillovers to the rest of the world and result in a decline in oil prices. This article investigates whether the Chinese economic slowdown and the oil prices affect the G7 stock market. We use a Quantile-on-Quantile regression approach to capture the correlation structure between the G7 stock returns and oil price returns under different G7 market conditions with considering nuances of oil price movements and Chinese slowdown. Data are employed over the period of January 1999 ~ December 2015. Our results show that the responses of G7 stock returns to China and oil shocks are likely to be asymmetric, nonlinear and country-specific. The stock market returns of Germany, Italy and Canada appear the most vulnerable to these shocks. Our results suggest that international investors consider the states of stock market returns and oil price alongside with the interaction effect between China's economic slowdown and oil market.

“…Capitalising on the political weakness of the technocrat Minister of Foreign Affairs, and on the laissez-faire attitude of a Prime Minister troubled by the competing agendas of his coalition on the domestic front, Geraci was instrumental in centralising management of Italy's China policy within the Ministry of Economic Development, allowing for a fast-paced deepening of Italy's relations with Beijing. Widely criticised as overly pragmatic, this approach was in fact premised on an audacious reading of the untapped potential of the "strategic partnership" formally entered in by the two countries in 2004 (Andornino 2012). First extolled in a high-profile political setting in 2017, during a meeting of intellectuals convened to help draft the Lega electoral manifesto, the strengths of China's development model and its relevance for the current Italian socio-economic predicament would later be the subject of Geraci's articulate post published on Beppe Grillo's blog (Geraci 2018a), at the time the most authoritative signal that a certain policy proposal enjoyed the blessing of the leadership and membership of M5S, soon to be the Lega's coalition partner in government.…”

The present introductory chapter shall set the stage for the edited volume by broadly sketching the contours of the intense strategic competition between China and the United States and its potential to reshape Asia-Pacific and the world order. Briefly, this chapter will also allude to the future probable fallouts of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its potential for redrawing geopolitical coordinates and allegiances, for the countries that are in the focus of the present volume.

“…The two dynamics that have developed upon these foundations may be characterized as asymmetrical competition and asynchronous opportunities generation. 26 Starting in the 1990s, the PRC's increasingly vigorous projection on global markets has been inducing a relentless competitive dynamic, with severe displacement of Italian companies across all of Italy's traditional production sectors, comprehensive restructuring of its small and medium enterprises, and a heavy toll on employment borne by the Italian society. Contextually, Italian business proved unable to fully exploit the opportunities offered by China's opening market.…”

This essay analyzes Sino-Italian relations against the background of the increasing salience of the West Asia and North Africa region in Rome’s and Beijing’s strategic calculus. As China projects westward through its New Silk Road strategy, culminating at the intersection of the Mediterranean Sea and Europe’s core, the spectrum of Italy’s foreign policy options opens to innovative forms of cooperation with China to meet the challenges emanating from the European Union’s southern and southeastern neighborhoods. An integrated study of the dynamics of Sino-Italian bilateral relations and of the mounting strategic exposure both countries have across West Asia and North Africa underscores the urgency of consolidating the societal foundations of the strategic partnership ten years after its launch.
