If China secures the CopiaPort-E project, it would turbocharge Beijing’s trade in South America—not only enabling CHINAMAX megaships, but allowing all shipping to completely bypass U.S.-controlled chokepoints and dominate hemispheric commerce virtually overnight.
A geopolitical storm is brewing on the western edge of South America—and the United States cannot afford to look away. At the heart of it all lies a deep-water mega-port project in Chile’s Atacama Desert: CopiaPort-E, a port so naturally engineered by geography itself that it could become either America’s greatest commercial and strategic opportunity, or China’s most dangerous economic beachhead south of our border.
If the Trump Administration seizes this moment, the U.S. can ensure that this asset is developed with American interests at the forefront—safeguarding our supply chains, trade routes, and strategic naval positioning. If we hesitate, however, China will not. And they are already moving fast.
CopiaPort-E sits along the Punta Cachos peninsula, directly on the Pacific coast. What makes this location a “world rarity,” as port experts have described it, is its natural breakwater extending 8 kilometers into the sea and its natural seabed depths exceeding 30 meters—no dredging needed. This alone makes it the only location in all of South America capable of receiving CHINAMAX and CAPESIZE-class supertankers—ships that carry 80% more cargo than standard vessels, but cannot pass through either the Panama or Suez Canals.
Strategically, CopiaPort-E also sits right at a critical bend of the Pan-American Highway, which provides the shortest and most direct land routes to both southern Brazil and Argentina. This land-sea synergy means the port would serve as a high-efficiency hub for transcontinental trade, connecting the Pacific with the Atlantic faster than any other corridor in South America.

It’s New!
Hopefully, Brazil develops the ability to meet almost all its own needs.
Oh my God, we’re dead.

It’s quite a distance from the port of Chancay, on the Pacific, all the way across Brazil to Villa Do Conde, on the Atlantic.
If this is what I think it is then the US was offered the chance to develop this years ago. They turned it down.
Greenpeace will go bonkers over the environmental destruction that will result from building such a port.
A geopolitical storm is brewing on the western edge of South America...
The Bee strikes again.
Also a hilly complex to cross commonly referred to as The Andes . . . then the Amazon jungles. Head hunters, comrade?
No.
Because this would a Chinese development, a Chinese-cabable port (eventually) servicing Brazil and Argentina by rail and highways (both built by Chinese copies of American and European tools and equipment), Greenpeace and its NGO-serviced professional promotion agencies will ..
. .. ignore it.
Because it hurts America and the general western Judeo-Christian capitalist culture.
This is the kind of crap that happens in our BACKYARD when the Neocons are running all over the world starting wars and trying to overthrow governments, particularly those with MASSIVE nuclear arsenals.
So what, Mexico is building a railroad to take some cargo from the Panama Canal also. The canal is backed up and slowing down trade.
Let them whine, China doesn’t give a flip about that. And will happily kill anyone like them that gets in their way.
Let’s go get it, who’s with me?
If so , we meet up on Monday on site.
Bring any construction equipment have.
We will have port James Monroe completed quickly and keep the ChiComs away .
