China cautioned Argentina against severing diplomatic ties with major nations like China and Brazil, emphasizing the importance of maintaining relationships for economic cooperation. Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning highlighted China’s significance as a trading partner for Argentina, stressing the substantial economic ties and mutual benefits.
Mao Ning’s remarks followed criticisms by Argentina’s newly elected President, Javier Milei, who had expressed reluctance to engage with communist regimes, specifically targeting China and Brazil.
Despite Argentina’s invitation to join BRICS (a group including China and Brazil), an economist likely to become the country’s foreign minister under Milei’s administration, Diana Mondino, declared Argentina’s disinterest in joining the bloc. She indicated a shift away from engagement with Beijing and Brasília.
Milei’s landslide victory in the presidential election, propelled by promises to curb excessive state spending and revive Argentina’s economy, has triggered expectations of significant policy changes. He aims to tackle the country’s triple-digit inflation within 18 to 24 months, pledging to restructure public accounts and proposing the adoption of the US dollar over the struggling peso. Furthermore, he advocates for eliminating the central bank, which he accuses of perpetuating inflation through excessive money printing to fund government spending.
The incoming administration’s stance on reorienting economic policies, including potential shifts in diplomatic relations, suggests a divergence from the previous government’s strategies. However, the potential implications of altering ties with major global players like China and Brazil in pursuit of economic stability remain a topic of considerable debate and scrutiny
