SUMMARY:FCCC Online Event: Italy’s exit from the BRI by Alessia A. Amighini
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, when the Italian government signed a Memorandum of Understanding to join China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)\, Italy was – and still is – the only member of the G7 to do so. Four years later Italy’s Belt and Road romance is coming to an end. The current Italian government does not consider its BRI membership to have sufficiently benefitted its economy and wants to exit BRI. This talk is the best preparation for all journalists who have to cover the BRI summit in mid-October. We will talk with Italian economist Alessia A. Amighini about what Italy hoped to gain from joining BRI\, why the government no longer wants to be a part of it today and what an Italian exit means for BRI. \nAbout our speaker: Alessia A. Amighini is Co-Head of the Asia Centre and a Senior Associate Research Fellow at the Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI)\, Italy’s oldest think tank. Furthermore she is a non-resident fellow at Brussels-based economic think tank Bruegel and an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Piemonte Orientale.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk: China’s Underground Historians and Their Battle for the Future
DESCRIPTION:The past is a battleground in many countries\, but in China it is crucial to political power. In traditional China\, dynasties rewrote history to justify their rule by proving that their predecessors were unworthy of holding power. Marxism gave this a modern gloss\, describing history as an unstoppable force heading toward Communism’s triumph. The Chinese Communist Party builds on these ideas to whitewash its misdeeds and glorify its rule. Join us for a talk with Ian Johnson on his new book\, Sparks: China’s Underground Historians and their Battle for the Future\, where he describes how some of China’s best-known writers\, filmmakers\, and artists have overcome crackdowns and censorship to forge a nationwide movement that challenges the Communist Party on its most hallowed ground: its control of history.\nAbout our speaker:\nIan Johnson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer\, researcher\, and senior fellow for China studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. Johnson has lived in China for more than 20 years and has been following the country since first going there as a student in Beijing from 1984 to 1985. He worked as a newspaper correspondent in China from 1994 to 1996 with Baltimore’s The Sun\, and from 1997 to 2001 with The Wall Street Journal. In 2009\, Johnson returned to China\, living there until 2020 when he was expelled as part of worsening tensions between China and the United States.
