Italy PM Meloni's Police Arrest Chinese Suspect For Covid Vaccine Research Spying | Spotlight | N18G A high-stakes cyber-espionage arrest in Milan has thrust Italy into the heart of a growing digital cold war between President Donald Trump-led United States and Xi Jinping-led China. Italian authorities detained Xu Zewei, a 33-year-old Chinese national accused of hacking US COVID-19 vaccine research at the height of the pandemic. Xu, allegedly tied to the state-sponsored Chinese group "Hafnium", was apprehended at Milan airport following a US-issued international warrant. The US indictment includes charges of wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and unauthorised access to protected computers, specifically targeting American vaccine labs. Italy's foreign ministry has labeled the case "industrial espionage", signaling diplomatic tension ahead. The arrest poses a delicate challenge for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is deepening ties with Washington while treading cautiously with Beijing.
