令人惊讶的是，意大利表示预计将退出中国雄心勃勃但陷入困境的“一带一路”倡议——这高调提醒人们该倡议未能实现其目标。

对于罗马来说，增加对华出口的承诺并未达到预期，而在整个南方国家，“一带一路”协议往往收效甚微，除了资助腐败、建设有缺陷或不需要的基础设施，并给低收入国家带来巨大的新债务负担已经在为基本服务提供资金而苦苦挣扎。

In a surprising twist, Italy has indicated that it expects to leave China’s ambitious but troubled Belt and Road Initiative — a high-profile reminder that the initiative has failed to meet its goals.

For Rome, the promise of increased exports to China has not met expectations, while throughout the Global South, BRI agreements have often achieved little but funding corruption, building faulty or unneeded infrastructure, and contributing to a massive new debt burden for low-income countries already struggling to fund basic services.
