Hopefully, pissing on China would ensure a recession in Italy, Weakening of a major Western power and member of 8 Nation alliance is always a good thing and the time couldn't be better, pray she's an Italian Liz truss and not a smart Sunak
That's true, but for every phone sold by Chinese companies, the emergence of an Indian competitor is delayed. Smartphone assembly isn't difficult, so it's not like you can stop India from developing its own industry.
Most Europeans know very little about China. Wang Yi might be one of the first Chinese people she meets. She only knows China from TV as a far away place, which is communist and fought against fascism in the war. As a fascist herself, she can't support that. But she'll learn
When Covid first struck, China sent medical teams and supplies to Italy. If the gratitude and friendship gained from such support is easily wiped out by enemy propaganda, then China should rethink its naive do-gooder approach. At least, prioritize helping the people who appreciate the help.

I make a counter argument, IF you Willingly Accommodate the wealthy elite of each individual country then you will be accepted. It's not about national interest it's what good for the Oligarch and their Family, that is the formula of the Collective West in subjugating the Global South. Will the Chinese do it? Coming from an egalitarian systems it doesn't fit so you're right and it should come from below BUT with the current set up the Chinese need to dealt with them first and offer a compromise.
