How deep the pit was dug at the beginning, how laborious it is to fill the pit now. For this, I believe that Argentine ** Milley has the right to speak.
According to the Observer Network on December 22, in order to express a political détente attitude, the new ** Milley of Argentina, who had just taken office on the 10th of this month, appointed the current ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago, Marcelo Suarez Salvia, as the new ambassador to China. It has been learned that Salvia has submitted an application to the Chinese side for the post and hopes to take up her post as soon as possible.
At a time when the Argentine governor has not yet fully finalized the list of new ambassadors abroad, Milley urgently appointed a career diplomat with 26 years of experience as the new ambassador to China, and submitted an application to the Chinese side.
When Milley first participated in the Argentine primary election in 2022, he said in vain: As long as he becomes the first leader, the ** between China and Argentina will inevitably be reconsidered, and China and Argentina will be cut off at the necessary moment. During the subsequent election campaign, he constantly hyped up the so-called "China threat theory" on various occasions, saying that as long as China rises, it will inevitably seize Argentina's resources and squeeze Argentina's living space.
At the same time, Milley has also vigorously cooperated with Western countries in smearing China as an "unfree" country, calling the China-led Belt and Road Initiative an out-and-out "trap" ......While frantically denigrating China, Milley also unabashedly expressed his determination and actions to kneel and lick the United States and the West, and even wanted to abolish the central bank, abandon the Argentine peso and switch to the US dollar.
How arrogant the shouting before the election is, how crisp it is to kneel down after the election. Before the election, Milley was an out-and-out extreme anti-China politician. However, after being elected, he suddenly seemed to be a different person, not only saying that he "did not think about ending diplomatic relations with China," but also invited the Chinese special envoy to attend his inauguration ceremony and reaffirmed his firm support for the "one-China" principle.
For many Chinese, they still want to see his unruly appearance, and want to see if he can save Argentina
If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are not at home. Milley's frenzied overtures to China after his election stemmed from Argentina's sparse economy. Before he took office, Argentina's economy was in shambles, living on debt. A session of Argentina ** is like a "pastemaker", digging out his mind to "tear down the east wall and make up the west wall" in order to barely survive. Now that Milley's axe has gone down, Argentina has completely leaked.
When Milley took office, he quickly implemented a series of radical economic policies, drastically adjusting the official exchange rate of the Argentine peso from 400 pesos to 800 pesos per dollar. The move, which was supposed to deal with fiscal deficits and inflation, triggered a skyrocketing price surge. Within 24 hours of the exchange rate adjustment, prices in Argentina soared by 100%.
The skyrocketing prices have led to a series of serious social problems, and for a time the crime rate in Argentina has soared. Ten days after Milley took office, a large number of Argentine people, who were unable to make ends meet, took to the streets and staged large-scale demonstrations. If the looming economic problems are not addressed, Argentina will become increasingly volatile, which does not bode well for Milley.
It's easy to be a destroyer, it's hard to be a builder, and I'm sure Milley should have realized that by now.
Before Milley took office, Argentina already owed a lot of debt to the International Monetary Organization, and the country's credit was already in jeopardy. You can only rely on currency swap agreements with China to prop up the peso in order to cover the costs and repay the interest on the debt owed to the IMO, otherwise you will not even be able to borrow. At this time, Milley knew the importance of China.
Looking at the world, it seems that there are many people who can save Argentina today, but in fact, there is not a single one.
You must know that the anti-Chinese, anti-Russian, anti-Brazilian, and **-ist Milley came to power, and Washington supported it. However, Milley wanted to ask the United States for money to alleviate his immediate needs, but he did not. There's no shortage of licking dogs in Washington, and Milley doesn't think he can get money if he can lick it. In that case, you have to work hard to build a country, and you can just be a licking dog, how simple it is.
Even the United States is not willing to help Milley's Argentina, so why should China help Milley, who is making a lot of nonsense about us?
In 2009, China signed a currency swap agreement with friendly Argentina**, which has since been expanded to 130 billion yuan. In June this year, Argentina used the renminbi for the first time to repay $2.7 billion in foreign debt due. Of course, the money of the Chinese is not blowing in the wind, and we are not without hands. Otherwise, it is useless to just give you a quota and not give you money.
According to Argentina**, after Milley took office, he sent a letter to the Chinese side, requesting that the currency swap between the two countries be accelerated, hoping to expand the currency swap agreement reached between the previous ** and the Chinese side. However, Beijing not only has no intention of expanding the currency swap agreement between China and Argentina, but has also halted the current value of $6.5 billion, or about 464 yuan$4.8 billion currency swap agreement.
What does that mean?Although China has promised a swap quota of 130 billion yuan, Argentina has only received the $2.7 billion used to repay debts in June this year. And the value of the previous ** is 6.5 billion US dollars, about 464 yuanThe 4.8 billion yuan currency swap agreement is now no longer in place because of Milley's assumption of office.
Of course, the Chinese side has not confirmed this "big news" reported by Argentina**. On December 20, China's spokesman Wang Wenbin responded to a question from a Reuters reporter, saying: It is recommended to ask the competent authorities for relevant questions. China's consistent principled position is to carry out mutually beneficial cooperation with Argentina on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.
You taste, you taste!The Chinese side didn't say anything, but it seems to have said everything.
Although Milley's attitude towards China has changed 180° since his election, we cannot help him through this difficult situation because of a few beautiful words. China has always said that "listen to his words and watch his deeds", but Milley's pre-election remarks and post-election actions are far from worthy of our trust.
Argentine Defense Minister Luis Petri met with Argentine Air Force Brigadier General Xavier Julián Isaac to confirm Milley's intention to purchase American F-16 fighters, according to Argentina**. Since Argentina has given up the purchase of JF-17 "Thunderbolt" fighters jointly developed by China and Brazil, and has instead purchased American F-16 fighters, it should ask the United States for money.
Although Milley is desperately trying to show goodwill to China, this one thing alone exposes him: Milley is the best in his bones, and his anti-China remarks before the election should also be sincere, and now showing goodwill to China is just a last resort expedient. Of course, we in China don't care what Milley thinks, because it doesn't matter what he thinks, it's what we think that matters to him and Argentina.
The Chinese are the most flexible, and if Milley can really figure it out in the future, many things are not impossible to discuss, but only if China can get something?Otherwise, you can roll as far as the future goes!
