Politics Javier Milei’s Argentina looks to veteran diplomat to mend ties with China: reports - South China Morning Post

[Uncle Wong]

I don't understand President Milei's rhetoric with China. Argentina needs China as a partner to help one another out with all their agricultural products and China with their money.

Smart move with this appointment of the Ambassador. Milei sounds like he will make nice with China. I actually think he has things planned out. He is going to end up best buddies with lots of nations that all want to work with Argentina.

WRONG again! The credit swap with China cancelled due to his idiotic verbiage, BRICS now officially rejected. When he said there's no money, he really meant that he would make sure that there is no money by Argentina's largest trading partners. Milei is a total disaster. Worse President Argentina has ever had.

It had been due in a few days to join the group, seen as a counterweight to the Western-led world.

The worst president in Argentine history and hes only been in power for two weeks? He has certainly moved fast....

Guess all that talk about not needing to work with China was wrong.

Modino is a moron.

Mondino says all Chinese people look the same and becomes social media laughingstock

Argentine Foreign Minister Diana Mondino took heavy social media flak Thursday after her remarks in a newspaper interview that all Chinese people looked the same. Therefore nobody could know whether or not the staff at the controversial base in the Neuquén province were scientists.

A very unfortunate choice of words........

Argentina really needs China if it's going to make a full recovery.

Javier Milei softens his China talk

Waving goodbye to China, at this point, would be disastrous to Milei and his economic project. Minor posturing is one thing

I agree. Milei is doing lots of things right but he shouldn't antagonize so much. Argentina needs China just like China needs Argentina,

I think they both need one another. Argentina has a lot of precious resources that China needs. Here is a good article on the two @GlasgowJohn.

Argentina looks like it's going hat in hand with China. Let's see how much China decides to help Argentina out.

It is a positive that President Milei is changing his stance on China. I have been arguing since last year that his stance was wrong on China. China is an important trade partner and all the rhetoric last year was not necessary. I hope the relationship can strengthen.

Everyone need China these days. Also it would be a good idea to establish better relationship with Russia also. Can be good trading partner.

It never made any sense to me either taking such a negative stance with China. Most likely Milei will go hat in hand to China. Not sure what other choice we have.

Milei has to back track on many things he has said or done. Look at China. A lifeline for Argentina with the currency swaps.

He thought taking a few photos and pledging support for the US would be enough. 🤡

The odds of China doing more business are higher than Milei's friend Elon Musk.
