China-Argentina relations

President Javier Milei’s openly critical stance toward China has evolved into an increasingly pragmatic collaboration.

China recognized the importance of Latin American countries in the space sector decades ago, while the U.S. is just beginning to look at them.

New Argentine President Javier Milei may have railed against China but he’s taken a pragmatic track since. Still, the new government should look closely at China’s Argentine space station.

Argentina and Brazil’s different choices shed some light on the question of why some developing countries join the Chinese scheme while others stay away.

If elected, Argentinian presidential hopeful Javier Milei will find several practical challenges to upholding his promise of “not negotiating with communists.”

As President Alberto Fernandez’s term comes to an end, his flawed approach toward China is among his government’s greatest shortcomings.
