Solidarity, from those you don't expect. Yesterday evening at Fiumicino airport, a team of coronavirus experts and a shipment of aid sent by the Chinese Red Cross landed. In addition to the words of proximity, fans, masks and many other medical devices that our country desperately needs, also arrived from China. Thanks to you, who were the first to deal with the emergency and now that you are winning this battle, you have not hesitated to extend your hand to us. When this is over, we will remember who was there... and who was not. On the contrary. In the meantime, thanks to China, Italy will make it too

America, China... and Europe? Brussels, where are you? Though on second thought, maybe it's better if he doesn't show up. Last time he spoke, we lost 17 billion. As a pro-European, with regret...

Point taken on the contrast in grasp of the concept of soft power, very well taken, but fuck the Chinese government. If they had been forthright from the onset it might've broken the first link in a long chain of fuck ups. It pisses me off that the Ali Baba guy is donating test kits to us. I'm all for international cooperation, but at the same time, I'm patriotic enough to dislike playing envy hobo to the undeniably authoritarian Chinese pseudo capitalists.
