This year's opening is very good!
On January 28, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced a list of 32 international dignitaries attending the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, including foreign heads of state, heads of government, members of the royal family and heads of international organizations. Many of them came from thousands of miles away, and some visited China for the first time.
At the moment of the Gathering of the Winter Olympics.
On February 4, China and Russia issued a joint statement.
On the morning of 5 February, President Fernandez also made a special trip to chairman Mao's memorial hall to pay respects to Chairman Mao's remains and lay wreaths.
On February 6, China's National Development and Reform Commission officially announced that Argentina's joining China's "Belt and Road" circle of friends has become a major breakthrough in Latin America and raised a red flag in the backyard of the United States.
On February 7, China and Argentina released the Sino-Arab alliance. Argentina strongly supports the one-China policy, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of China! China strongly supports Argentina's claim to sovereignty over the Falklands and supports Argentina's restoration of sovereignty over the Falklands!
Argentina and China signed a memorandum of understanding on the Belt and Road Initiative, China's vast global infrastructure development project.
It also signed cooperation documents in more than 10 fields such as green development, digital economy, aerospace, Beidou navigation satellite system, technological innovation, and agriculture. Argentine media excitedly said that this would bring more than $23 billion in construction financing to Argentina.
Maybe many people are not familiar with Argentina, saying that it seems to be a small country, right? Is it really so important for Argentina to join the Chinese circle of friends?
I: Why is Latin America important?
Below is a map of the entire Americas, North America + South America, is the whole of the Americas.
Canada + the United States are both British colonies, is a Western European culture, the faith is mainly Christian Protestantism, so it is also known as Onsa America.
Bounded by the U.S.-Mexico border, the following American countries are all Latin American.
These countries are mainly colonies of Spain and Portugal, deeply influenced by southern European culture, mainly Catholic.
Below are roughly Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, isn't there a big missing piece in South America? That's Brazil, Brazil is a Portuguese colony, and the official language is Portuguese. However, Portugal, like Spain, is a southern European culture and a Catholic church.
Only by understanding the above can you understand the pattern of the entire Americas.
The contradiction between Latin America and Onsa America is deep.
Cultural antagonisms:
One is Western European culture (Christian-Protestant) and the other is Southern European culture (Christian-Catholic), both of which have been home in Europe for hundreds of years. At the same time, although Latin America believes in Catholicism, they have integrated Catholicism and communist ideas, invented liberation theology, and priests led guerrilla warfare to fight liberation wars, which belonged to socialism with Latin American characteristics. So Latin America is still the traditional old red revolutionary area, comrade. In this regard, it clashed fiercely with the capitalist Ansa Americas.
Antagonisms in international relations:
Onsa Americas belonged to Western circles and was a colonizer. Latin America is a poor developing country, and to this day Onsa America controls most of the Latin American economic lifeblood.
Ethnographically:
Antha Americas is not racially integrated, but racist, Antha capitalist supremacy. Latin America, on the other hand, is largely racially free, and most of them are of mixed race.
Understanding the above, there are two points of inspiration for China:
1. Latin America has sufficient soil for anti-hegemony.
2) If Latin America can develop, the United States will no longer be a state of no strong neighbor around it, and perhaps we should also let imperialism feel a sense of oppression? Open up the base area behind enemy lines, you hit yours, I hit mine, and put the red flag into the backyard of the United States.
2: Why Argentina?
I have written about the cooperation between China and Laos before, why should China build the China-Laos railway? Recommended reading: Integrate Southeast Asia, the United States can only do nothing about China
Because after the development of Laos, on the one hand, it can become a successful sample for us to build China-Southeast Asia cooperation, on the other hand, Laos' geographical location is very important.
Laos, bordered by all the countries of the Indochina Peninsula, is the "hub" of Southeast Asia, assuming that the peace force transported by China-Laos railway can completely cover the whole of Southeast Asia.
So I have to be friends in Laos, and I have to get southeast Asia.
So who is the hub of Latin America?
That must be — Argentina.
Or look at the map, from the map, Argentina is the farthest country from the United States.
The closest socialist country to the United States is Cuba, followed by Venezuela, and Chile, under allende, was also ready to go to the society, and then the military government supported by the United States was killed (this account, LatinOs have not forgotten).
Anti-hegemonic enemy rear base areas
If we are going to help develop Latin America.
So from the geographical point of view, too close to the United States is not a good thing, it is precisely the farther away the safer.
The closer you are to the United States, the easier it is to be suppressed by the United States and become the front line of the game.
In the long-term game, it is difficult to develop the economy and it is easy to become a poor socialist country.
While this is the fault of the United States blockade, it does not impress the world well, which is why Cuba and Venezuela have been less successful.
Nor can it be like Chile, although there is a distance from the United States. However, the country's land area is too small (750,000 square kilometers), the population is too small (the total population is 19.678 million), and the narrow and long land lacks depth, and it is unable to resist the oppression of US hegemony and cannot withstand it.
A long strip in the lower left corner is Chile
To become a big country or a regional power, you must first have a large area and a sea outlet. The second is that it is relatively self-sufficient in general terms, and then there is enough industrial population, at least about 50 million.
In fact, Brazil is also in line with this point, Brazil has a large population and a large land. However, the country is unstable, and Argentina is better to bring up and be suitable for model projects.
Argentina has an area of about 2,780,400 square kilometers (an area close to India) and a population of 45,377,000 in 2020 (basically reaching the population base of a regional power).
It is the farthest away from the United States, and it is relatively the most difficult Latin American country to intervene in. The red circle below is roughly the territory of Argentina, you see the following picture, Argentina is actually very similar to China.
To the northwest is all around the mountains, to the northwest is the Andes, to the northeast is the Brazilian Plateau, and the core fertile region of Argentina is on the Great Plain in the middle.
Image source: Geographical vertical and horizontal
Therefore, geographically speaking, if Argentina develops, it is the safest country in Latin America, relatively has a certain strategic depth, and the United States is relatively direct to intervene, which is not so easy.
Mexico has a population of 128 million and an area (1.9644 million square kilometers), but because it borders the United States, it is impossible for Mexico to develop, and the United States can enter Mexico at any time, and it is also convenient to engage in color revolutions.
Argentina is mostly of Italian and Spanish descent, 95% white, and is not a mixed-race country. (A person is not of mixed race within a human race)
The problem with mestizo Latin America is that countries with Native Americans (yellows) and black slaves are mestizo, such as Cuba, Venezuela, brazil.
Chile is mostly white, with mixed white and indigenous ethnicity.
Argentina is almost pure white, mainly because it is a country founded by a majority of European immigrants. In fact, there are also indigenous people in the local area, and they are also mixed with Argentines, not much because there are more white Argentine immigrants, so the indigenous blood cannot be seen after dilution.
It is not to say that the mixed race is belittled, but the mixed race state and nation belong to the newly born identity, and the identity is relatively not so stable. This is also why China's Latin American cooperation is not Brazil in the first place, Brazil is too bulk, and to build a model project, 200 million Brazilians are really difficult, and the effect is slow.
A country composed of descendants of traditional civilized subjects is easy to stabilize. For example, China is a traditional yellow country.
In fact, you can completely see Argentina as a South American Spain, and the Argentine national identity is very stable, which is very important for economic development.
A solid national identity is conducive to the construction of a responsible society, which is relatively easier to develop.
III: Argentina's economic base
Argentina does not talk about anything else, the natural foundation is very strong.
The Pampas in Argentina corresponds to the black land of the Northeast.
Therefore, Argentina's agriculture and animal husbandry are developed, and it is an important producer and exporter of grain and meat in the world, known as the "world granary meat bank".
In agriculture, Argentina is the world's largest exporter of soybean flour, soybean oil, sunflower oil, honey, pears and lemons, the second largest exporter of corn and sorghum, the third largest exporter of soybeans, and the fifth largest exporter of wheat and beef.
Argentina also has many minerals, including oil, natural gas, copper, gold, uranium, clay and so on. It is rich in hydraulic and fishery resources. Extensive forest cover.
Argentina's industry is more developed, mainly steel, automobiles, petroleum, chemicals, textiles, machinery, food processing, etc., with complete categories. The level of development of the nuclear industry is at the forefront of Latin America, with three nuclear power plants in 2014.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Argentina's total economic output ranked among the top ten in the world, and it was a developed country. The United States began by taking Argentina to harvest the whole world, and then Argentina has been trapped in a vicious circle of economy.
If we are to develop a Latin American friend for mutual benefit, it must be economically bright.
Argentina is objectively the easiest one to pull up.
What are the benefits of pulling up the economy?
There was a social experience throughout Latin America, and they didn't like the capitalist system.
It is only because of the lack of capital, technology, and economic experience that the red movement in Latin America is now at a low ebb, but the organization is still there.
The famous Che Guevara is an Argentine
If we build a cooperation with China, refer to the template of the success of the Chinese plan, and make a successful reform and opening up to China in Latin America.
That would inevitably attract a large number of Latin American countries to scramble to cooperate with China, so that slowly the whole of Latin America would be won, so that the left of Latin American countries would also regain confidence.
Once Latin America develops, even if it is still inferior to the United States, it means that the base areas behind enemy lines have been successfully established.
As for the reconquest of the Falklands by Argentina, which many people discuss, this is actually a secondary issue.
Because Argentina's heritage is far more than britain, argentina to take its own Falklands is only a matter of time, and now with Chinese financing, you can take China's money to buy Chinese dragon fighter jets.
Some people may say, isn't this playing me? Take my money to buy my fighter jet?
This is why you don't understand China's business wisdom, that is, to ask the other party to borrow money from us and then buy our industrial products, which makes sense.
You go to see the Argentine home base, a bunch of various mines below, and rich agricultural and animal husbandry resources, is this what people are looking like when they lack things to pay off their debts?
It is impossible for us to lose money to Argentina, because the natural endowment resources of other countries are here, and there are a large number of physical objects that can be used as a bottom.
Originally, it was difficult for a country like Argentina to be poor, he just fell into the debt trap of the US hegemonic financial system, and now that China has risen, we have bottomed out Argentina and helped him to a virtuous circle of economy, and such a country cannot be poor.
We give him financing, he always has to spend it in the end, and since he wants to spend it, it will still be spent on China.
The modern military industry has been systematized, and Argentina has bought the Chinese Dragon Fighter, which is actually spending money to upgrade China's military industry, and it is also further bound to our military industry.
Why didn't I write about The Falklands in this article?
Because the Falklands are nothing! Is this enough?
Taking Argentina as a springboard, it is of the greatest significance to impart to them the experience of socialist economic development with Chinese characteristics, to revive the Latin American socialist movement in full swing, to form an economically independent Latin American Latin American League, and to win more time for China's rise.
In fact, this is not an export of ideology, because Latin America is originally a red organization everywhere, but these organizations have all encountered the problem we encountered in the past, that is, the economic obstacles.
The biggest significance of China in Argentina is that we don't need to export any ideology, but it is enough to do one thing in a down-to-earth manner: socialist countries can do a good job in the economy! As for how to do it well? We are very experienced and would be more than willing to pass it on to you.
When these experiences in engaging in socialist market economy are widely studied by Latin America, the United States will naturally explode when neoliberalism, the wise son of the Latin American economy, is locked.
As long as Latin America rises a little, they can have a huge pulling effect on beauty.
Why? Because Latin America has a huge immigrant and illegal immigrant population in the United States, Latinos are the fastest-growing voters in the future of the United States.
With the rise of Latin American economies on the outside and the mediation of a large number of compatriots on the inside, playing the Latin American card well, hegemony can accelerate the disintegration.
At this Winter Olympics, the three countries received special treatment.
First of all, it must be Putin, followed by Pakistan, and then Argentina.
I have a hunch that the flame of anti-hegemony in Argentines' hearts to restore the country's former status is burning.
In time, maybe after we renew the Pakistan Railway, there will be one more Iron.
Argentina doesn't have to cry later, your tears, let us blow them away!
At last:
To Comrade Che Guevara, I believe that Latin America will be liberated from the clutches of the United States, and it must be liberated! Look forward to the day when we complete the Victory of Global Liberation Division!
