Peru serves as a bridge between China and South America. China don't really cares much about North America now.
Do not let pride, ego & delusions cloud your intellect. Humanity MUST live with REALITIES in order to deal with issues & find solutions.
1. China WILL care very much about USA now with tariffs on the horizon. It is China's biggest market, creating MUCH wealth, revenue & jobs to China's citizens, as USA are the biggest consumers in the World alone as a country.
2. Much had been spoken about how BIG China market is, but in reality, many are still living in poverty especially in the country side. They cannot even afford products made in their own country, but make do with whatever resources they have on hand or just without such goods. Only those in cities made fortunes & have better salaries, but they are few compared to its population size, IF data from ANY source are honest...
3. It is the same situation with Latin America. China may find buyers, but it will NOT help the Latin Americans, as such dependence will only curtail their own economic growth. Manufacturing will cease, jobs will fall, unemployment will rise.
Once Aid, charities, social welfare ends as there will be no revenue forthcoming, they will suffer & worse, their arable lands & minerals will be taken over & seized by those whom offered loans, & the crazy thing is that Latin Americans were the ones that helped another country to rise in economy & trade, & yet when such poverty rises, it IS the same funds given that is used to buy up struggling biz enterprises in Latin America, & its resources be used for their own country, with bones left, if any for Latin Americans.....
And the worse is that Latin America is NOT without arable lands & minerals. The political elites will only need to spend more on education, tax concessions, skill upgrading of their citizens, be protectionists & they will see their own economy & lives boom.
4. How to help China rise & be respected Worldwide?......They too are fellow Humans, so too others in other nations, but the insignificant nobody me have no pragmatic idea yet.....nor significant as I doubt even if any would read this post...
