LUCREZIA POGGETTI: Sino-Italian Roller Coaster- Eurosceptics, Disinformation, and Mask Diplomacy

OUR TOPIC

In today’s episode, we investigate the complexities of Sino-Italian relations, which over the last few weeks—like a focusing lens—brought together many interesting topics: the outbreak of COVID-19, China’s disinformation campaigns, Euroscepticism, and wider discussions on EU solidarity. There’s really a lot to unpack here. Fortunately, we are joined by an expert in the field.
