Dennis Redmont spotlighted on the morning Italian radio show “24 Mattino – Morgana e Merlino”, on the business news radio Radio24, to talk about Italy’s projected memorandum of understanding with China on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a far-reaching project and development program on the eve of Chinese president Xi Jinping’s visit to Italy.
Redmont highlighted the possible risks, also addressed by the US government, that might sprout from such deal, as China is known for its hostile opacity in both the fields of business and technology.
According to Redmont, “USA is warning Italy, as this deal might turn out to be a hostile Trojan horse in the hands of a global force, China.”

Dennis Redmont features in Visão História the Portuguese monthly, an article on Portugal in the 1960s. Portugal was no place to be for a journalist under the rule of António de Oliveira Salazar. A stifling censorship regime was in place, which targeted first and foremost journalists, both Portuguese or foreigners. It was so widespread that the only way to learn about what was occurring in the country was to read foreign newspapers. What is more, PIDE, the Portuguese Secret Political Police, not only prevented news from being printed but actively pursued foreign correspondents in an attempt to chase them out of the country or silence them.
