Poor little argieland. CFK is about to screw you again. Next year she will be a dustcloud in the middle distance disappearing with your money. There's no telling exactly how much she's stolen. US$20 million? But that's only 50 cents each, isn't it? Little bit of research shows what she did when she went abroad. Where do you think her new palace will be? Where could she go where no country could extradite her? Has she figured the cost of security forces sufficient to negate extraordinary rendition. How many countries likely to be willing to use special forces to get her?
Jul 19th, 2014 - 10:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Still, she'll have spent most of it. So the debt will be down to argieland. Your country is so poor you can't afford to repay $2 billion. What are you going to do about $7.5 billion?

Jul 19th, 2014 - 12:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Probably everything.
I wonder if the rail project and the dam projects will be actually managed and run by Chinese companies using Chinese workers? It's probably the only way to ensure that the money is actually spent on what it's meant to be spent on.
Oh well, perhaps this will help Argentina in the long term, but in the short term (as in 2 weeks from now) Argentina will default or pay up it's debts. Everyone's money is on the default, and I wonder if China will actually pay this money if the default occurs.
All we can do is watch and wait.
Yesterday I say you BRICS with Argentina become one stand army! Right now we are became one! 7,5 milliards not very much money, China does not wish own Argentina. We own USA 1,300 milliards, this much better for us we control west country number 1. They do tomorrow what we say.

Jul 19th, 2014 - 02:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You do seem to have a dim view of Argentines and now the Chinese have apparently joined your pantheon of people to hate.
You are right about one thing: the infrastructure loans will be used in part to purchase Chinese equipment for the dams and the rail system. I'm with you on wondering whether or not that's a good thing, but it is essentially the same deal China routinely makes with your dear old USA when it buys treasury bills and Americans buy Chinese goods. I guess the US deal with China is a little better because the interest rate is not so high.
As far as the convertibility of the loan money is concerned, it is in Yuan and it is not convertible. But there may be another motive for Argentina to take on this loan. It shows all parties in the current bond dispute that Argentina is serious about resolving the dispute in order to return to world credit markets.
Where did you get the idea that construction costs in Argentina are many times greater than they are in the USA? Perhaps the $ used for the peso confuses you. On your next trip to Argentina, stop in at the new terminal C at Ezeiza. There's a placard on the wall in the main concourse that shows when the terminal was constructed and at what cost. Be careful when you read it because the cost is listed in pesos, not dollars.
You are also likely correct about the possibility of Chinese and Argentine bureaucrats dipping into the funds, but the amounts that these people siphon off pale in comparison to what their USA counterparts routinely get. Argentines continually moan about the quantity of cash Cristina has amassed over the last 12 years, but her total take hardly equals that which can be gleaned by a single US congressman in just a few terms.

Borrow money? WRONG! The 7.5 billions is not cash money, is just a credit to buy Chinese goods mainly for companies with an strong chinese presence like Belgrano Cargas (railroad). The 11 bn swap will be an exchange in bonds. Argentina will receive bonds in yuan and could use them as a guarantee to get dollars if a bank (any bank worldwide) acept yuans as guarantee.

I have re-read the posts and fail to find any racism there. To call a NATION feckless or there government idiots is not racism.
The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races:
Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior:

Jul 19th, 2014 - 05:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Excuse me, I think racism may have been the wrong term. When people routinely make insulting remarks about one group of people or another, I tend to interpret that as racism. Since you made an insulting remark to me (”Sheesh you are an idiot.), without knowing who I am or where I'm from, you are probably not a racist, but something else. What would I call a person who routinely denigrates people he doesn't like in a public forum? I'm afraid I can't think of a polite term. What would you suggest? You may have suggested it already.
Your rebuilding of the icebreaker and constructing the pipeline examples do not prove your point. Your point was that costs in Argentina are many times higher than in the US. Perhaps you are too young to remember the famous $2,000 toilet seats for the Pentagon. When that was exposed, it was then discovered to have just been the tip of the iceberg. The US government does its best to hide evidence of fraud and corruption in expenditure of public funds, but even with a compliant media enough examples are made public to suggest that the US Department of Defense leads the world in waste of public funds. If you don't believe me, try finding out what happened to $9,700,000,000.00 in Defense Department funds that was earmarked for Iraqi reconstruction. You can also look around for five dozen missing fighter planes or 32 tanks and 36 Javelin missile command launch-units but you won't find them except in a dusty GAO report. Argentina cannot even begin to match corruption of that scale.
Admittedly, lots of things in Argentina are not done up to US standard, but corruption is not one of them.
Somebody might bring up the perception of corruption index here to try to prove that Argentina is more corrupt, but remember that the index measures perception. Argentines are much more aware of and sensitive to public corruption than people in the USA who generally think its OK to let corporations buy their government.
Nosegay DID get a job at a Chinese supermarket! I do hope he stocks up while he access to food. And toilet paper.

So, just call him an arsehole then? hehe!
I'm sure he can handle it.
Somebody might bring up the perception of corruption index ” Yup, ok, I'll take that one.
The perception of ONE country's corruption not only about how their OWN people view it, or how sensitive they are to it, but also how other countries, businesses, country analysts (who track the movement of money, amongst other things), and individual, independent entities such as Transparency International view it.
So it doesn't really matter how the Argentines view it, on their own. It most certainly doesn't matter if the USA is more or less corrupt than Argentina. This has no direct bearing on the amount of corruption in Argentina. How does the price of toilet seat paid for by the Pentagon relate to corruption in Argentina? Unless they were Argentine toilet seats?
:)
Just saying, yes we are bad, but you are worse, doesn't make you any less bad. The level of 'badness' (corruption in this case), stays the same for both countries.
This is just funny;
Argentina cannot even begin to match corruption of that scale.
Admittedly, lots of things in Argentina are not done up to US standard, but corruption is not one of them.

I'm not so sure Cristina will have much opportunity to skim off the new Chinese loan money. My sense of things here in Argentina is that the people here are fed up with her and her government, but they are pretty hopeless about what to do about that except wait for next October when they can try on a new group of rascals. Some people think that defaulting at the end of this month might be a good thing. All the financial prognosticators up north are saying that the economic consequences of a new default would not be near as bad as the 2001 debacle. Argentines are aware of this and so many think that a default might be the best way to get the current crowd out of the Casa Rosada so we can start over again, this time from a stronger place. That's why the new Chinese debt is really sad news because it will be one more millstone on the neck of the next Argentine president.

@49
Jul 19th, 2014 - 07:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Cristina will not be in office long enough. She has 15 months left at most.
As for the financial prognosticators, I'm referring to all those in the know folks who are interviewed by the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal for their opinions on what will happen to the Argentine debt crisis. Lately, these people have been offering the opinion that Argentina can survive a default without much more than a prolongation of the current recession.
As for how widespread this opinion might be among Argentines, I can't say. My own perspective is quite narrow as I live quite far from Buenos Aires. It's probably not fair for me to put out the opinion of my neighbors as representative of all Argentines.
I can almost agree with your opinion about the debt being a problem for Argentine taxpayer. While most people here do their best to avoid paying any tax at all costs, the government does have ways to tax us. The current set of currency regulations may be one of the top three sources of tax revenue in Argentina even though it is not officially a tax. So if you say that the result of a default on Chinese debt will cause a greater imbalance in currency exchange rates, then yes, the taxpayers will suffer.

Jul 19th, 2014 - 10:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As in Africa, the Chinese Gov will send in its own people to construst the dams/railways whatever...
China increases its global profile as being a benevolent power. Argentina loses status. Argentina loses political/economic power in the region.
Many materials/technology will only be available from China. This is normal when doing business with the Chinese.
Argentina loses control of the situation. The Chinese win status as being autonomous within Argentina.
The loans will only be made in the Chinese currency, so they (Argentina, in this case), can only spend the money on Chinese products.
China wins money through trade, Argentina loses money, because it is forced to trade with China, with their money, at their rates, with cash borrowed from them.
Cristina gets another suitcase full of US$. She bails out and leaves it to a new Gov.
Argentina loses status, their people are now getting robbed. The World thinks they are idiots. No more global cash from international banks.
Argentina can only increase its debt to China, Again China wins.
Argentina increases its debt to China as it can't pay the first debt. China offers more debt but at a price (economically/politically).
China wins political/economic power in the region. Argentina loses power over its own internal affairs. China wins power in controlling the Argentine economy and internal politics....
China basically does a land-grab with no military involved. Clever, huh?
Is anyone else seeing a pattern here?

But the default isn't the biggest issue you have an immediate cash crunch coming. Your trade balance is seriously out of whack and there's no way for you to get U$ to pay for, oh say, fuel and food.
They are also FLOODING the economy with more worthless pesos and you'll see a HUGE spike and most likely another devaluation shortly. So you'll be dreaming of the good old days of 40% inflation.
Plus the layoffs have just begun.
Do you think business can survive waiting on U$ from their exports FOR 9 MONTHS?
And back to the default, NML and all the rest will have free reign to seize anything with a hint of Rg on it. My guess is they'll go after LNG and raw oil to make the lives of Argentinians very uncomfortable.

It has become increasingly obvious that ‘Aussiesunshinee' is no more than a stupid troll in a similar vein as Mendo-idiot/Keith Pork and others, and is probably the same poster.
This person has nothing of value to contribute. This idiot betrays the worst form of ignorance, the refusal to even try to understand another point of view, or to accept that others may have a higher knowledge of a given subject. Other than that, ASS, just tries to goad genuine posters.
This fool should be ignored or told to F off.
Looking forward to some good debates/knowledge sharing in the future,

If it helps Argentina to pay its debts, where's the problem. China is a wealthy Country and can afford it. In return China gets a grip on Argentina's natural resources.

Jul 20th, 2014 - 04:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0The problem is with Cristina getting Argentina into further debt it can't pay. Ultimately the Argentine people will pay this debt. Cristina is causing more unpayable debt to bail her out of the current mess. She will be dead long before the chickens come home to roost.
She is impovershing future generations.
That is where the problem is.
I suggest she is removed from power, sooner rather than later.

2) The modernisation of the Belgrano railway, some 10,000 km of already existing but neglected tracks that, without shadow of a doubt, will dramatically reduce the transport costs of our agro-mineral products, lessen the exaggerate power of our teamsters and, eventually, be the spine of the Inter-Oceanic corridor with Chile...

Oh, come on, you ThinkSocks are materialist snobs, even if not moneyed enough to realise your potential. Therein lies the jealousy.
Mr. Think with his watches - the noble Russian military piece (that is actually a rip off of a French design), his disdain for the lowly Rolex - only a Patek Phillipe will do. His trusty and true, traditional fishing rod and reel, only the purest Single Malts of unimpeachable lineage, shall pass his throat etc. etc. etc.
Not to mention the RN's finest, blue-blazed Cmdr Dod, the ludicrous caricature inhabiting fictitious Serviceman's watering holes with his imaginary friend, Bernard. His wife is of course carried in style along the dual carriageways in the latest Land Rover SUV, whilst he passes his time ship-spotting vessels that aren't there, as he ambles along with his ludicrously named dogs along the cliffs of Dover...
As if that isn't enough, his kindred sock A-Vice lives solely on Single-Malts of the most carefully vetted Scottish heritage, when he is not riding into Glasgow on one of his motorcycles to visit Starbucks or instigate Road Rage incidents and intimidate the more ordinary motorists with his imposing physique. Of course, no pseudo-Scotsman is complete without his Stradivarius of real Scottish bagpipes.

Jul 21st, 2014 - 02:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Always crush Argentina, they want Argentina person to suffer, since 1946.
Now they have choice.
The Chinese are likely to find the Argentines, in their minds, very inferior and very gullible - perfect business partners!

2-Imitation, which is the easiest (Chinese)
3-Experience, which is the bitterest

Nostrils and friends are so out of their depth!
They probably think the Chinese respect them...
Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha ...
As long as they can take their oil, soy, wheat and sugar cane and whatever they can strip mine.....they will display respect. And to show they are sincere.....they will help with the water infrastructure to ensure the crops get watered, help with the railway system to ensure the natural resources can be shipped to China. When that ends, they will go the way of the 200 Chinese business men with it came time to sign contracts...........nowhere to be found.

Same thing has happened before to a couple of other posters, including yours truly...
Curiously enough...., all of them were or are somehow Critical to the Editorial Line of MercoPres....
I guess that´s the Anglo idea of Fair Play, Freedom of Expression and being Cricket...
I have criticised Mercopress in the threads and have emailed them complaints. Mostly about their extremely poor coverage of Venezuela.

Nothing untoward has happened so far. ..

Way to go CFK. You have engineered the current situation in Argentina. By getting in bed with the Chinese, Argentina will be flooded with guest workers like every other turd world country they extort. The Chicoms dump the prisons to export slave wage earners to their sphere of influence. We have enough Chinese markets already....

The paying customer on them windblown South Atlantic Islands likes to keep the script at MercoPress Disney-simple.... The general idea being....:
1) Argies are a bunch of Despicable Dago Devils...
2) Kelpers are some Sweet Innocent Little Cookies...
3) The rest of the world sides, of course, with the Sweet Innocent Little Cookies....
Non Radical posters stating things as they perceive them makes them nervous and unease ... and they are not paying to feel nervous and unease...
