“Veneto Vs. China 1991-2005″, a visualization of a clash of civilizations
http://www.netzfunk.org/index.php?task=venetochina
The relationship between China and Veneto can be traced back to the voyage of Marco Polo in Cathay and his famous encounter with the Gran Khan, in the 13th century. That period was marked by economic and cultural prosperity both for the Chinese Empire and for “La Serenissima”. It was also the starting point for a long history of commercial relations.

Today the Asian giant and the industrious Italian region are big economic partners with exchanges of around two millions euros per year. Despite the reciprocal advantages represented by this strong commercial tie in the last 15 years Veneto economy has begun to suffer from the competition launched by China enterprises in vital sectors such as textiles and small machineries. At the begin of the 90s the Chinese Communist Party had launched a “socialist market economy” and began competing with Veneto at the level of exports. Along the years China has more and more been profiting from its almost infinite source of cheap labour and from the imitation of European and Italian products.
