‘Pirelli is in peril’: Pressure rises over Chinese grip on Italian tyremaker​

Rome assesses whether to limit state-owned ChemChina’s voting rights or force it to sell down 37% stake
Rome is assessing whether Pirelli’s technology has national security implications, and whether to limit Sinochem’s influence by curbing its voting rights or forcing it to reduce what is now a 37 per cent stake after its initial majority holding was reduced in a 2017 initial public offering.
Yet analysts say any move to curb Sinochem’s ownership rights could lead to a backlash in China.
“Undoing an existing deal, eight years later, is different to having a transparent review at the beginning,” said Peter Lu, partner and global head of law firm McDermott Will & Emery’s China practice. “It would create a big image issue for the Italian government once it came out in the Chinese media. Then there could be a popular reaction to move away from Italian labels.”

Serbia backs ammunition shipments to Ukraine in westward pivot​

Belgrade has long been a Moscow ally, resisting western pressure on sanctions after Russia’s full-scale invasion
The Serbian president said he is not opposed to his country selling ammunition to intermediaries who ship it to Ukraine, in a sign that Russia’s staunch Balkan ally is pivoting westwards.

Aleksandar Vučić has traditionally backed Moscow and refused to align with western sanctions on Russia after its full scale invasion of Ukraine. But in a change of tack, the Serbian president said he was aware of US government reports that Serbian ammunition has ended up in Ukraine via intermediaries and that he had no plans to stop that.
The pipeline funnelling Serb ammunition to the Ukrainian front has been a crucial factor in a noticeable shift as the US, Nato and the EU recently backed Serbia in a recent flare-up of ethnic tensions in Kosovo, according to three western diplomats in the region.

Bridge over the Ganga collapses for a second time. The first collapse was in April last by year. Either Mother Ganga is upset with that bridge, or this is just incompetent construction. Who the hell wanna use that bridge if it ever gets reconstructed?

This is supposed to be part of Modi's big infrastructure program to rival China. How is that going so far?

If the US got the meeting with the Chinese like they wanted in Singapore, this was to follow. It was planned to happen either way. The US wants to shake hands with one while slapping you in the face with the other. Where's that intelligence that would've embarrassed China regarding the balloon Blinken would've confronted Beijing with hence why they say China is not seeing Blinken in any rescheduled meeting? They can release it right now or how about at the meeting with Jake Sullivan that happened recently?

On this video, he also mentioned how much of FAKE/ELITIST NANCY "CORRUPT" PELOSI was to the African delegation. Americans exudes virtue signaling morality at it's finest, especially these "LIBERAL TYPES"
Despite their national myth of egalitarianism, America was founded by upstart British who wanted to be their own nobles and kings, and it shows in their descendants.

Italians of late have been behaving as wannabe Anglos, little realising that their brethren were regarded as swarthy foreigners to be marginalised and discriminated against. This unacceptable behaviour is very Indian of them. They need to be taught a lesson.
Compare this to the Greeks who can also lay claim to ancient heritage but also deal with the Chinese fairly and gratefully for saving them from the predations of EU oligarchs. This sense of honour is sorely lacking amongst the Italians, and is quite frankly, disgusting.


Regarding the current spate of sinophobia and anglo american anxiety over China's rise: this is simply par for the course for the Anglo culture; back in the 19th c. it was the Germans who they wanted to destroy:

Last century it was the Germans and Russians, this century the Anglo leadership decided to go Asian: China.


H&M never recovered in China; at least D&G did somewhat (for now).

Pirelli is overrated anyway. For tyres I would opt for Michelin or Bridgestone. Sorry I do have to admit that I have Bridgestone on my cars.

for us in Australia, you may have noticed a massive plethora of English and Irish migrants trying to flee the turd on fire that is the UK. Unfortunately, Anglo leadership is universal amongst the five eyes and today, the central bank of Australia had to raise interest rates to fight corporate driven inflation. American corporations raise prices and contribute to inflation but the people are the ones who have to pay and suffer.

This is liberal democracy under an Anglo leadership folks. People have to starve and be homeless because that money has to go towards even more corrupt and vicious anglos over the pacific to buy $400bln worth of weapons to fight China, because china’s rise makes the Anglo oligarchs feel inadequate.
