“Poverty is not socialism” (Deng Xiaoping): development strategies and priorities in China from Deng Xiaoping to Xi Jinping
Date: Wednesday 05 March 2025
Time: 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Format: meeting
Speakers: Stefania Stafutti
China underwent a momentous change between the 1980s and the beginning of the 21st century. And - to be honest - it's not the first in the space of about a century. The huge transformations faced by this country are not always easy for those on the outside to understand. The aim of the meeting is to outline some points and some key aspects of the development path taken by the country in the forty years covered by Barbieri's exhibition, highlighting the contradictions and problems that this rapid transformation has brought with it, but also recognising the challenges, reflections, analyses and solutions that China, as a major player on the world geopolitical scene, is proposing today, and which must be taken into account, overcoming the logic of opposition and fear.

Time: 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Format: meeting
Speakers: Mario Calabresi and Marco Bardazzi
The podcast “Other / American Stories” continues its journey through current US politics. After closely following the last race to the White House, Mario Calabresi and Marco Bardazzi return to explore the new international scenario with the Trump administration and its global consequences. A new episode of the podcast, dedicated to one of the hottest topics of the moment: the new dynamics between the United States and China, will be recorded on this special occasion. What balances are being redefined in the Pacific? What impact will they have on international relations and, by extension, on Europe and Italy?
