נשיא ארגנטינה הנבחר מבטיח: לא אקיים קשרים עם קומוניסטים

Next, we move to America's southern backyard, where Argentinian President-elect Javier Milley secured a landslide win over the weekend. Milley promises drastic change for the country, and could include the country's relations with communist China. He's criticized both China and Brazil, saying he won't deal with communists, and favors stronger U.S. ties. In recent months, Milley even likened the Chinese Communist regime to an assassin and said the people of China were not free. The CCP has gained so much leverage in Argentina like that, that they were able to get away when former President Mauricio Macri tried to expel the People's Liberation Army from managing a space station in the province of Nelken, which had restricted access even to the president himself and local authorities. So the leverage is very big. Beijing says it's ready to work with Argentina, despite Milley's criticism. China is among Argentina's most important trade partners. Milley's tough talk on China stands in sharp contrast to the outgoing president, Alberto Fernandez. He visited Beijing last month, and hailed China as a true friend of Argentina. It remains to be seen what Milley will do after taking office later.
