Disclaimer & comment rulesWell i doubt the USA will be very pleased to hear that argentina is supporting China's claim over taiwan which is an independent sovereign state. I bet taiwan isn't happy either. Looks like they are willing to make enemies with with said 2 nations just to get support from china, who clearly said “the governments of Argentina and UK to resume “Malvinas negotiations” thus complying with the principles and objectives of the UN Charter and the General Assembly resolutions,” Funny how its Argentina that is ingnoring the rights granted to the islanders under the UN Charter, and that the UN resolutions telling the UK to nagotiate with argentina are not binding and contary to the islanders wishes.

So their is nothing in this other than the fact Argentina is getting so desperate they are willing to make enemies out of taiwan and the USA in the process.
while EU keep punching the old finacial demegogues schemes for solutions Argentina plants the seeds for a healthy economy with China and the UAE, it would be good to get India and Pakistan on board. no healthy economy can ever get ritch on the gains of the few but on the labor of the whole, we have to move away from international dictatorships trying to force constitutional changes to locals cultures if we want to preserve local markets. globalization as a whole was always in play ever since the times of empires and monarchys, China economy will continue to grow do to the demand from more then 1 billion population who happen to love rice, fish and soy, Argentine's will do well if they invest in a fishing fleet or dry cargo ships.

Clearly you not heard the news lately with all the closing and empty factories and increasing unemployment in china, not to mention the deserted cities. I think you will find china is facing major economic slow down and could very well collaspe in on itself in the next few years if its not brought under control. Something long predicted by economist i might add.

China's backing Argentina is very plausible ,but , Taiwan and Malvinas are very different positions have ,not same.

Dec 27th, 2011 - 01:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Taiwan, is not only independent, but she is also very powerful, as a matter of fact,
Taiwan could at this very moment in time take on Argentina, and Brazil and beat you both hands down,
;[bet you didn’t know that did you]
China , ah yes, she supports you,
China will not send you anything but her best wishes,
But you are right of course; she is growing and getting more powerful,
And so is Brazil,
But two things you should ask your selves, first, before all the celebrations start,
1, why has big mighty powerful china, not invaded little Taiwan, before now
After all she is only inches from her boarder,
2, and just how does the great Argentina expect to help china in any way,
Without going to war.
Mmmmmmmm the celebrations don’t seem so great now do they .
.
The authoritarians always stick together. CFK and her government also supports the Chinese slavery in Tibet. Nice one Cristina :)

Dec 27th, 2011 - 06:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0Where you see authoritarianism I see the will of the 54% of Argentinians who voted her, and voted her to DO SOMETHING, not to let corporations do whatever they want.
