It is a logical step for China to seek its EXPORT (READ AGAIN RUDE IT SAYS EXPORT) markets in Latin America
Notice rude that it does not say "Import". I have no problem with expansion in latin america for the US as long as the containers leave the US full and come back empty.
The chinese are looking out for their own interest
What kind of reasoning is that? If we can't get empty containers to come back here, then we should let the Chinese have the market?
