Apr 05th, 2011 - 12:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0Peru must be REALLY, REALLY BAD if it is trailing Brasil's main port in Santos. I have personally experienced transfers and transactions at which any efficient and ethical country would hold up their hands in horror.
I know I suffer from Sinophobia, but I would argue that the greatest blockage in Brasil's entry to First World trading is the port of Santos. . . .
In Sao Joao da Barra, Acu, Rio State, the Chinese port-building is massive - but this, 'Brazil's Highway to China', is a raw materials port and is China's way of hiving-off China's need..
Oh, for a few thousand Chinese skilled dock managers, engineers and dock labour force to re-develop Santos.
Brasil NEEDS the biggest and most efficient dock/port in Latin America - and there is no reason at all why it can't have one like Rotterdam, Hong Kong, Singapore or Shanghai. It just needs Chinese investment and know-how.
What's the Chinese for 'Danegeld'?
