Italy turns to China for urgent medical equipment

Miles Johnson in Rome

Luigi Di Maio, Italy’s foreign minister, has said the country is turning to China to obtain urgent medical supplies to help its health service cope with the coronavirus outbreak. "The Chinese government has expressed the closeness of its country to us and will soon send 1,000 intensive therapy machines to Italy, as well as supplies of gloves and masks for our hospitals," the minister added. "We will remember those who were close to us in this difficult period." In 2019 Italy, with Mr Di Maio then as deputy prime minister, became the first G7 country to sign up to China’s Belt and Road initiative -- a diplomatic pivot towards the east that prompted concern and criticism from Washington.

Google翻译简单修改一下：

意大利外交大臣路易斯·迪·马约（Luigi Di Maio）表示，该国正在求助于中国，以获取紧急医疗用品，以帮助其卫生部门应对冠状病毒的爆发。 这位部长补充说：“中国政府向我们表示中国和意大利亲密无间，并将很快向意大利运送1000台重症治疗仪器，以及为我们的医院提供手套和口罩。” “我们将记住在这个困难时期与我们亲近的人。”

2019年，意大利在迪马约副总理任上成为首个签署中国``一带一路''倡议的七国集团（G7）国家，其把外交重点转向东方的做法引起华盛顿的关注和批评。
