Press Mentions

Much of what China is doing in Nicaragua is part of a broader strategy that we see throughout the region. Some of these projects seem very aligned with China’s economic objectives, which are to find markets, even in smaller countries like Nicaragua.
[The BRICS summits] have amounted to a litmus test of these countries resolved to measurably change the status quo, and are also of course a test of the extent of consensus among countries with what really are increasingly disparate interests.
[Latin American steel tariffs are] an important test of China’s interests and intentions. [They are] also a test of Latin American resolve in challenging what is a critical economic partner.
A China está apostando em projetos menores e com utilização intensiva de tecnologia para fazer crescer a sua própria economia e reduzir o risco da sua presença internacional.
So China has decided to prioritise projects in the so-called new infrastructure sectors, very much intended to try not to generate the same level of controversy as some of these larger-scale projects, where there is a lot of room for very impactful error.
The timing [of the China-Argentina currency swap] is intentional. It’s done in a moment when it’s very clear that [the Argentine presidential] election could go in two very different directions.
China will engage with Argentina in whatever form possible, regardless of the outcome of the presidential election. That said, a Milei win would no doubt result in a rethinking of relations with China, and possibly even a review of existing projects.
The use of the yuan is growing, especially in those countries that are looking to establish stronger ties with China, that view themselves as in some way politically aligned on this particular objective of decreasing their overall reliance on the dollar and on the US in general.
Les crédits massifs avaient contribué à asseoir la présence des entreprises chinoises sur le terrain, leur ouvrant des marchés et les internationalisant ... Aujourd’hui, celles-ci n’en ont plus besoin. Elles sont devenues compétitives. Elles travaillent en partenariat avec d’autres sociétés, y compris internationales, et apportent leur propre financement.
