China is already Peru’s largest trading partner on both the exports and imports side while Peru is the second largest destination for Chinese investment in Latin America, behind only Brazil. A whopping 32% of Peru’s exports go to China, compared with just 12% to the US.

Also the far right candidate who was the daughter of the former genocidal dictator Montt ate poo poo and did twice as worst as polls indicated.

crazy surprised at the results. the right wing either ate each other or stayed home. real weird poo poo there were like 25% blank or spoiled ballots which signifies support for a businessman candidate removed by the supreme court torres doesn't seem amazing, I think arevalo would be the better of the two i say swears online has issued a correction as of 15:46 on Jun 26, 2023 |

Bolivia taps China, Russia's Rosatom in bid to unlock huge lithium richesquote:LA PAZ (Reuters) -Bolivia has signed lithium agreements with Russian state nuclear firm Rosatom and China's Citic Guoan Group, the South American country's government said on Thursday, as it looks to develop its huge but largely untapped resources of the battery metal. This is big news. Bolivia has the largest reserves of lithium in the world.

And the only ones who believe that are far right crazies china provides something much more dangerous to the us than boots on the ground and the threat of a hot war with a peer power: it provides countries with an opportunity to develop their own economies. the whole western order is built on the assumption that cheap materials can be extracted from global south and those countries will be kept at subsistence level of development forever. by providing economic development china not only undermines the foundations of the dollar system but it makes global south countries coup proof. turns out all people really want is a sense that things are getting better for themselves and the people they care about. one weird trick to jumpstart socialist transformation, the imf hates it!!

Heh, that was a Hitman Elusive Target; a former/would-be dictator trying to gain populist support by ranting about communism to people who are mostly baffled that he still thinks anyone cares about it.
