STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP as long as The Chin are the Senior Partner.

I wonder what is going to happen when the Chinese financial bubble bursts?

Particularly as they will want their money back!

With all due respect, if China's economy collapses, Europe, North America, Australia and all Asia suffer. Chile has diversified it's trade portfolio, but China is key to trade.

Our current danger is Bachelet's Socialist tax increases which are hindering new investment.

I totally agree, but the way they are fudging the numbers and hiding the systemic problems that they have on the financial side we KNOW that there will be real problems, just not when.

What bothers me as far as the UK is concerned there does not seem to be any recognition that there are these problems and what we should do about coping with them when they arise.

I would imagine that Batchelet is wishing she was still with the UN, given her problems so close to home, literally within her own family.

She's obviously unhappy about what her son did, but frankly she's thrilled to push her Socialist agenda and we are now seeing her true colors: red-red-red...

The UN was just a rest stop, while Piñera did his 4 year term.

@4 well said.

Red Red Red will be the arrows down on Chile's Financial system when Cristina leaves her wrecked argentina, Brazil gets to its crisis and China's bubble pops. Merchants around the world will weep. Rev 18:11 None of these things are independent. The message Maduro keeps projecting is that the Chinese are going to bail them out, hang in there...the shortages are transitionary.
