The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, and the leader of the Chinese communist regime, Xi Jinping
Javier Milei has deep ideological differences with Xi Jinping and does not find economic and financial benefits to establish an agenda of geopolitical closeness with the communist regime from China. And even less so after having reached an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that allows it to escape the need to use the Chinese swap to pay the systematic monthly maturities with the multilateral credit organization.
The president has a conception of foreign policy that places the United States and Israel as basic allies, places Mercosur and Mercosur as strategic partners the European Union, and projects certain Arab countries as potential investors in Argentina.
From this position on the international board, Milei distances himself from China, Russia and the dictatorial regimes of Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Iran. And this also explains the decision to renounce the BRICS and Unasur, and cool diplomatic ties with Chile, Bolivia, Mexico and Spain.
In this context, the head of state does not want China to build nuclear power plants in the province of Buenos Aires, he has no intention of providing national funds for the hydroelectric dams in Santa Cruz, and even less to buy fighter planes for the Air Force.
Milei's reluctance puts Beijing's strategy towards Argentina in check and weakens the validity of the Silk Road agreements that Xi signed with Mauricio Macri and Alberto Fernandez. The president's ideological bias became an obstacle for the communist regime, which in the last 30 days has lost a lot of political influence built on soft loans and the opening of its markets.

When Milei met Jake Sullivan at the White House, he assumed that eventual closeness with China implied a zero-sum game. Joseph Biden's National Security Advisor explained Washington's position on Beijing, and the president no longer had any doubts about his place on the regional board.
The Democratic administration committed to facilitating the negotiation with the IMF, and that commitment ended up diminishing the diplomatic link between the Casa Rosada and the Chinese communist regime. If Argentina does not need the swap enabled by XI to avoid default with the Fund, Milei could cool the relationship with Beijing and reject its softpower strategy executed through the Silk Road.
Xi understood Milei's geopolitical turn and had opted for the renowned Chinese patience. But the alarms rang in the People's Palace when it became known that the Libertad Avanza administration had contacts with Taiwan's diplomatic representatives in Argentina.< /span>
China maintains that Taiwan is part of its territory, a foreign policy position that all governments from Alejandro Agustín Lanusse to Alberto Fernández respected. Chinese diplomacy believes that Milei and Diana Mondino are reviewing that historical perspective, and before tomorrow's meeting between the chancellor and Ambassador Wei Wang published a statement on social networks.
“Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Taiwan question is completely China's internal matter. The key to maintaining peace and stability in the Strait is to defend the principle of one China,” says the statement that the Chinese embassy in Argentina posted on its official X account.
Ambassador Wei will arrive at Mondino's bright office to ratify that Taiwan is a key issue for China's geopolitical agenda and that there are signed agreements within the framework of the Silk Road. The chancellor already knows Wei's agenda and her only objective in the conclave will be to maintain manners and offer coffee.
Milei seeks only a protocol relationship with China, while waiting for private businesses with their gigantic markets to continue unchanged. Mondino summoned Wei to stage this presidential decision, which is based on his conception of things and the explicit support of the Biden administration.
Milei's strategy has a crucial refutation: for Xi the limit is Taiwan. And the rest can wait.
