Nov 17th, 2015 - 09:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has already paid the debt ten times. All values of the West (politics, economics, hedge fund, hand outsourcing work) are corrupted by greed of a few and misery for many.
Nov 17th, 2015 - 10:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina as well as other third world countries should move away from Western terrorists.
@2, Well wel, so you agree Argentina is a 3rd world country then, hmmm.
Nov 17th, 2015 - 12:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@2. This may be a good move. Has China agreed that the power plants will explode if argieland doesn't pay up?
Nov 17th, 2015 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina always makes a fuss when we send nuclear POWERED submarines down south.
Nov 17th, 2015 - 02:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Rather Ironic.
Huh. These wont stop the power cuts. Every week we must suffer no electric which makes difficult to earn your living. What we want is better managing and les bribes. This will bring many new immigrations

Nov 17th, 2015 - 02:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So things are kind of rough for rotting roadkill.
Nov 17th, 2015 - 04:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Let's make'em tougher!
Plague yourself with chinese engineering of some of the most unforgiving technology known to man.
rotting roadkillian judgement - the gift that just keeps giving.

Sounds like a Dr.Faustus type of deal.
Nov 17th, 2015 - 05:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is takeover stealth.
Nov 17th, 2015 - 05:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And the trolls told us The Dark Country were world leaders when it comes to nuclear power plants: design, build and operate no less!
Nov 17th, 2015 - 06:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Pity they managed to fuck up the one that Australia had to 'repair' cracks in the tank and including the pellet magazines (acting as control rods FFS) which suffered from a schoolboy howler with the design.
The Chink ones will be far too close to where I live though and as “More than 60% of the supplies will be Argentine manufactured” we can only hope that the 'K's scum have no hand in it and 'modify' the spec to 'improve' costs, aka as graft.
China should not build nuclear power plants in Argentina,
Nov 17th, 2015 - 07:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You should never ever give matches to children, as they will either burn themselves, or someone else may get hurt,
just my opinion.
ChrisR - the 'what' ones will be far too close to where you live ??
Nov 17th, 2015 - 08:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A Chinese nuclear plant. With Argentine fingers in the operation.
Nov 17th, 2015 - 08:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What could possibly go wrong?
We are reminded of the massive failure of a power plant in Sta Cruz province, next door to the Río Turbio coal mines. Spent 700 million dollars. It seems as though there was a problem with the coal there. Not enough of it could be mined, and it was of such poor quality that it produced mostly ash instead of energy. And ooops.....naturally they had no idea what they were going to do with the tonnes of ash that the plant was going to produce. The last I heard they were using diesel to power the plant.... that was designed to burn the local coal ! And now I hear they are trying to convert it to burn natural gas which has to be brought from a considerable distance. And operating at just half capacity it would take about 65,000 cubic feet per hour to operate, and for precious few customers who of course will receive enormous subsidies. Oh, and over a year to make the conversion to gas, at enormous conversion expense.
Argentina.... such a fantasy land.
A strategic coup by the Argentine government and an excellent vote of confidence in the Argentine economy from our key strategic partner. Well done.
Nov 17th, 2015 - 09:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Macri must stop this shenanigan. “Vende patria” muy a$$.
Nov 18th, 2015 - 12:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0Wait until China discovers that Argentina has no intention of actually paying for the power plants.

Such a cunning diplomat.

Nov 18th, 2015 - 01:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I live in Uruguay, don't you remember that?
These disasters in waiting will be built near to Uruguay (in real terms).
Forgotten about Chernobyl already? The UK had radiation fallout from that one as did many millions of non-Russians and look how far that was.
Got it now or do you need to have your brain examined, there are some really powerful microscopes today you know?
ChrisR - the second word of the third paragraph of you post #11.
Nov 18th, 2015 - 02:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Interesting term, to what does it refer ?
@ 19 No Vestige of a brain
Nov 18th, 2015 - 05:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I thought you were Argentine yet you don't know about the fiasco with the INVAP open pool low / no power reactor they built for medical purposes in Australia?
Plenty of references on the Aussie sites.
I can see TMBOA cutting off your choripan for admitting to that.
Disappointing.
Nov 18th, 2015 - 08:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh well, at least it will be interesting to see whether mercopress stands by such terms being used on their site, or whether they consider Chris a Racist.
man, this is hard to call.
its the poor upbringing he had
Nov 18th, 2015 - 09:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It shows how insolvent china is. Their foreign policy is a fraud. All ofbthis comes unddr review if argentina returns to rule of law. Kicilloff is a laughing zionist that stole billions of dollars
