Given Argentina's experience in invading small islands maybe the Minister will offer his Chinese friends the full backing of the glorious Fuerzas Armadas Argentinas in their plans to regain Taiwan. Seems like Argentina is for sale to China.
Not very diplomatic language but I can't help feeling that Minister Cafiero is what we call a Prize Prat.

Perhaps it's time for Argentina to turn the page and move on.

I’d love to know what the Chinese think of the dirty, long-haired, unkept, poorly dressed excuse for the Argentine FM. He probably thinks people think he’s on point.

Hahaha! “Bolster the coffers”! I had read recently that the banks are actually running out of storage space due to raging inflation! Surely, the coffers couldn't be more full?

Of course they support each other. A communist one-party dictatorship (China) wants to take control over a democratic self-governing island off its coast, and a quasi-democratic South American republic (Argentina) wants to take control over a democratic self-governing island group off its coast. An aggressive partnership.
