    Perfectly sensible strategy for Chavez to diversify his customer base.
    In Chile we did this long ago with copper.

    BK, with your logic, is South America now China’s backyard?
    And if so, why would it be preferable to be the backyard of a non-democratic capitalist giant over a semi-democratic capitalist giant?

    BK likes anything anti American, even if it means siding with a government where a major controlling entity is the Peoples Liberation Army....the major ruling authority in that government. Perhaps when China s done with South America and the world no longer uses hydro0carbons.......SA will be nice and clean as Beijing and the rest of China. After all SA is now China's backyard.
    While the USA merely pissed on SA, China will shit on SA.....then flush.

    @1 & 6 Now suppose the U.S., U.K. and NATO turned the South Atlantic into a no-go area for Chinese vessels or for vessels with Chinese origins/destinations. Would Russia join in? Not on the Chinese side. They HATE the Chinese. It's called “realpolitik”. And you're several hundred years behind, numpties.

    Poppy, are you always so emotional about things you don't really care about?
    Hurts, doesn't it? ;)
