Preliminary
The world belongs to the strong, when the country is rich, the rich people are strong, and the self-reliance of the Great Confucius is the proverb. not only has China's own organized SCO developed, but even the Andes community has invited China to join.
Moreover, four countries in the organization voted, and none of them stood up against it. China was elected as an observer country with absolute advantage and officially became a member of the organization to strengthen its influence in the region.
But it was Trump himself who pushed the organization to embrace China.He wanted to make America rich, but struck the “horse beetle”, this trick to stop the thirst, making America’s future more difficult.
Trump "promotes" China's accession to the UN, cooperation is win-win
The full name of "Andean Community" is called the Andean Community and is an important organization in Latin America. Member states have a lot of economic cooperation. Since its establishment in 1969, they have gone through more than 50 years, and there are currently 4 members.
China established contacts with the organization in 1999, and the two sidesined good ties.This time officially became an observer state, although not yet officially a member, but also helped China to link Latin America, deploy the global Southern network, and expand South American influence.
China's outstanding performance in artificial intelligence and other fields can contribute practical experience to Latin American countries, carry out in-depth cooperation in electric vehicles and other fields, and promote local economic development.
In addition, China's political situation is stable, the momentum of economic development is good, China can provide stable export channels for the region, increase the sales of products of Latin American enterprises, and increase people's income.
And Latin America’s rich resources, huge market potential, are also very attractive to China. resources such as gold, copper and lithium, have been finely processed and can be converted into products with higher added value.
It can be said that Latin American resources and Chinese technology are highly complementary, and the two sides can achieve win-win cooperation through mutual benefit. Joining the "Security Community" this time also represents that bilateral relations are moving in depth.
Of course, in addition to these natural advantages, Trump's policies are also one of the driving forces of this cooperation. It can also be said that he indirectly promoted this cooperation.
After Trump came to power, he launched a tariff war against all countries, dealing with all countries without discrimination, exploiting other countries through tariffs, and even allies such as Japan and South Korea suffered.
For the economically underdeveloped Latin American region, this policy impact is even deeper.The export industry, which relies heavily on the U.S. market, has almost been sentenced to "death", and other upstream and downstream industries have been unable to escape the fate of being affected.
Many Latin American people have stood up to oppose Trump's foolish policies. After all, since the development of economic globalization, everyone has long been interdependent and indivisible; but the United States continues to use "isolationism" to do its cause, harming others and ultimately harming itself.
However, after all, Trump will not change his policy because of criticism. Latin American countries have to find their own solutions, and cooperation with China is naturally put on the agenda.
Brazil cooperated with Argentina before, Latin America followed after.
Some people may think that now blatantly moving closer to China will not offend the United States? After all, Trump's sanctions stick hits as soon as it says, punches and kicks, and recruits meat.
But calmly think, before Latin American countries did not get any benefit from the United States, the tariff intensity is so high, people's lives are affected, and did not see Trump kindly send warmth, it is better to cooperate with China.
Moreover, Brazil and Argentina’s cooperation with China before taking soybean business directly from the U.S. has received tangible benefits, providing a good model for Latin American countries – cooperation with China has a future.
Since 2018, trade friction between China and the United States has erupted, and soybean business has also been affected.After the easing of the relationship between the two sides, China has also bought soybean from the United States, but is also finding its way back, avoiding the trouble of "money bankruptcy".
Brazilian soybeans have entered China's field of vision, and China needs stable purchase channels to ensure its own food security; Brazil also hopes to have fixed customers and ensure the stable output of agricultural products. The two countries hit it off and started cooperation.
Over the years, mutual agreements have increased, communication has been smoother, Brazilian soybean exports have reached new highs, and China has contracted most of the orders.
Seeing Brazil's exports of soybeans get profits, Argentina was unable to sit down, lifting agricultural tariffs in September this year, so that China's soybeans orders soared to 1.3 million tons.
The “open-door” Argentina has raised the export standards for high-quality uranium, fine-tuning a number of indicators to meet the needs of the international market.
The political situation is volatile, and economic development is uncertain, but people's livelihoods are crucial.Brazil and Argentina both look at China's huge market, instead of winning a trade war, harvesting market share, harvesting practical benefits, favouring the people of the country.
This,, is also seen in the eyes of other Latin American countries. Compared to U.S. conditional cooperation, unrestricted exploitation, China as a trade partner seems to be more in line with the conditions of long-term cooperation, and naturally willing to engage with China.
Trump knocked a horse’s beetle, smashed a stone and struck his own leg
For this cooperation, other Latin American countries such as Venezuela, the media gave positive reports. stressed that China provided cooperation opportunities for Latin America, advocating "multilateral cooperation" rather than "unilateral oppression", compared with the United States.
The low reputation of the United States in Latin America can be said to be caused by Trump. He made a great fuss on economy and military affairs, which established national prestige in the short term, but harmed national interests in the long run.
Economically, he focused on "exploitation and oppression" and imposed tariffs on Latin American countries. Taking money also damaged his credibility, forcing other countries to find alternatives and get rid of their dependence on the American market.
Diplomatically, on the basis of combating "drug trafficking", he did not consult with the Venezuelan officials in advance, unilaterally striking other countries' ships, causing casualties, raising doubts in Latin American countries, suspecting that he violated international law.
Militarily, he also defined some drug trafficking groups as "terrorist organizations", carried out military deployment in the name of anti-drug, exerted extreme pressure on Venezuela, forced Maduro to make concessions, and wanted to improve regional deterrence.
It can be said that Trump has always put himself at the top of Latin American relations, wanting to "kill chickens and monkeys", take control of the dominance over Latin America.
But now Latin American countries have clearly seen the face of the United States, and instead have launched actions to resist the United States, pursue national strategic autonomy and safeguard their own sovereignty.
Out of U.S. control, in the short term may cause pain; but long-term insistence, the development of the country is not harmful!In another perspective, promoting Latin American countries to cooperate with China, is the U.S. itself.
