Chapter 1234 Armando Mayora
Britain's tough attitude immediately aroused Argentina's anger.
The Falklands War, this is Argentina's pain!
The Falklands clearly belong to Argentina, but the British interfered with Argentina's sovereignty.
How could Argentina not be angry!
Argentina denounced that this was Britain's violation of Argentina's sovereignty and violated the principles and norms of the international community!
Britain said, are there not enough things that violate the principles and norms of the international community?
Look at Afghanistan, look at Iraq, just in the past few years!
Argentina did not choose to use force directly, but to engage in a war of words with the British.
After all, Argentina is not ready now.
Although it is believed that Britain will not launch another Falklands War, what if?
After the defeat in the last Falklands War, Argentina also learned to learn lessons and knew that everything should be planned before action.
While fighting a war of words, Armando Mayora started his first visit after being elected.
Armando Mayora chose China for his first visit, which is Argentina's largest trading partner.
China has participated in a large number of investments in Argentina's oil, natural gas, copper, iron ore, gold, lithium boron, lead and zinc fields, and is also the largest importer or buyer.
Armando Mayora nationalized oil and natural gas, and Chinese companies also cooperated. The two sides reached a redemption agreement to help Argentina realize the nationalization of oil and natural gas.
The nationalization of oil and natural gas will greatly increase Argentina's national income.
When the Iraq War broke out, the oil supply from Iraq was reduced, and the transportation of Middle Eastern countries was disrupted, and the Middle Eastern countries reduced their oil production, which made international oil prices and natural gas volatile at a high level.
This is a rare opportunity for South American oil-producing countries and natural gas producers.
The cost of oil and natural gas production in South America is much higher than that in the Middle East, and the oil quality is not as good as that in the Middle East.
But when oil and natural gas are in a seller's market, who still pursues quality?
Argentina's oil and natural gas are mainly sold to Australia, New Zealand, the United States, etc. through Panshan Group.
Argentina's energy is mainly settled in US dollars.
Gold, ore, etc. are purchased directly by Panshan Group, part of which is settled in US dollars and part in RMB.
Electronic products, clothes and shoes imported by Argentina from China are settled in RMB.
Argentina's foreign exchange reserves are partly in gold, and the rest are in US dollars and RMB.
Argentina's exports to China basically maintain a relative surplus-deficit balance.
China is Argentina's largest exporter of beef and mutton, and even dairy products.
In 2004, Argentina's national cattle output was 14 million heads, and its own consumption was only 350,000 tons, and exports to China were as high as 2.8272 million tons.
There are also Argentine fishery products, which were exported to China 479,800 tons, with an export value of US$1.863 billion.
It is also because the bilateral trade volume between the two sides has repeatedly set new highs in trade, and the exchanges between the two sides have become closer.
This time, Armando Mayora visited China with a large delegation, hoping to increase bilateral exchanges and promote bilateral development.
Armando Mayora took the delegation on a special plane. When it was 500 kilometers away from Shanghai, two J-10 fighters escorted the special plane, which made Armando Mayora feel the importance China attaches to Argentina.
The special plane did not choose to fly directly to Beijing, but landed at Shanghai Airport.
Looking down from the air, you can see Shanghai.
Armando Mayora's eyes flashed with shock.
He came to Shanghai with the Argentine delegation in 1990, but Shanghai at that time was far less prosperous than it is now.
But it has only been 15 years, and Shanghai has developed so prosperously.
Armando Mayora was a little unrecognizable.
Relevant leaders of Shanghai went to the airport to welcome the Argentine delegation and gave high-level diplomatic etiquette.
The Argentine delegation will stay in Shanghai for two days to inspect the development of Shanghai and hold a symposium with Argentine students studying in China.
There are three main places for Argentines to study abroad, namely the United States, Europe, and China.
Especially in China, the most students go to study in China, more than in the United States and Europe combined.
The reason is naturally that the cost of studying in the United States and Europe is much higher. In the United States and Europe, the tuition and living expenses for one year add up to about 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars. If some good schools often charge 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars, the total cost is about 50,000 US dollars.
In China, the cost of studying abroad is much lower, less than half.
Armando Mayora visited Shanghai and was shocked by its development and prosperity.
Now Shanghai is one of the most prosperous cities in the mainland, and it is a prosperous metropolis that can rank among the top internationally.
The Argentine delegation was very shocked, and when the news was reported in Argentina, it also caused a great response in Argentina.
In the past, such scenes could only be seen in Los Angeles, London, Paris, Berlin, and Tokyo.
But now, it is seen in China.
Moreover, China, like Argentina, is a developing country, which makes Argentina, also a developing country, very complicated. It would be a lie to say that it is not envious.
From Shanghai to Beijing, the Argentine delegation did not choose to take a special plane, but took the high-speed rail, and went north to Beijing via the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail.
Along the way, they looked at China.
This time they came to China, one aspect of cooperation was infrastructure, including railways, roads, high-speed rail, subways and communications!
In terms of railways, Argentina has a long history of railway development. As early as 1857, the first railway line in the country was built, and for a long time it was among the countries with more developed railway transportation in the world and Latin America. Argentina's national railway was once 35,000 kilometers long, the longest in Latin America, which is a clear proof.
However, due to the long-term poor management of the railway department, years of losses, and lack of investment, many equipment and two-thirds of the lines are aging, and most sections have been suspended.
Armando Mayora wants to increase investment in infrastructure construction such as railways, and plans to build and renovate multiple railway lines to improve Argentina's transportation conditions.
In terms of infrastructure, China's capabilities are the most famous in the world. You must look for China, which has strong capabilities and high cost-effectiveness. The cost is often much cheaper than Europe and the United States. At the same price, China is the best.
Armando Mayora is more determined on this high-speed rail ride.
Armando Mayora was very impressed when he took the Chinese high-speed rail.
What he saw along the way made Armando Mayora feel that this ancient oriental country is indeed a modern industrialized work, extremely powerful, but not as overbearing as Europeans and Americans, but willing to cooperate for win-win results.
Everything Argentina wants, except for a few big killers such as mushroom bombs, can be bought from China.
The only question is what Argentina can pay! (End of this chapter)
