Italy has become a Chinese outpost in Europe and is over run with legal and illegal Chinese - especially from the region of Wuhan
The regions of Tuscany and Lombardy and very popular with expat Chinese who have taken over many textile industries in Italy. These Chinese/Italian textile manufacturers now employ cheap illegal Chinese labour but can still stitch the ''Made in Italy'' label on their clothing. The illegal Chinese live in ghettos which are often unsanitary and illegal and the perfect breeding ground for any stray bugs that may want to invade our society. Wuhan had direct flights to Milan so it would not have been difficult to bring anything into Italy in 2019.
Italy are also part of the Belt and Road Initiative
