The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Kicking China, Russia and Iran out of this hemisphere is the goal.

Pushing China out of the entire hemisphere would be a big lift.

from the net sifter, when asked "countries in South America whose largest trading partner is China?"

Answer:

Key Countries & Their Relationship with China:

Brazil: China has been Brazil's largest trading partner for over a decade, a major export destination for its soybeans, iron ore, and oil.

Chile: As the world's top copper producer, Chile sends a significant portion of its copper to China, its largest global trading partner, under a Free Trade Agreement.

Peru: China is Peru's largest trading partner, with exports of copper, iron, and animal feed increasing significantly since their FTA was signed.

Uruguay: China is also listed as Uruguay's largest trading partner.

Argentina: China is a huge buyer of Argentina's agricultural products, solidifying its role as a key partner.


According to the Wiki entry on Argentine trade, China ranks 4th, behind Brazil, the US, and Chile.

What would the US offer the countries in the "southern cone", that China doesn't? Abuse, threats, and jive?
