Will Argentine President Milley be pro American and anti China after he comes to power?

Mondo Sports Updated on 2024-02-24

Mr. Milley, Argentina, who repeatedly voiced his opposition to China during the election, also asked American journalists: "Will you come to a deal with the killer?" At the same time, he also expressed the need to cut ties with China and the southern market, and to establish closer ties with the United States and Israel. His comments sparked global concern, as well as many fearing whether he would be an enemy of China when he was in power.

But in reality, Mr. Milley did not live up to the promises he made in **, but fine-tuned some major issues. At the outset, he explained some of his previous inappropriate comments, saying that it was all because of a misunderstanding in the news media and that he had no intention of severing ties with China, Brazil, as well as Russia, but simply to protect Argentine interests. Subsequently, he had a "close" exchange with China, expressing his best wishes to the Chinese people and his desire to continue friendly cooperation with China.

How could Milley have such a change? Because, it's all for their own benefit. Argentina is now in the grip of a deep financial crisis, with inflation running high at 140 percent, a debt of $300 billion, and foreign exchange reserves of only $30 billion. On this issue, Argentina wants assistance from China, not the United States. China lent Argentina a low-interest renminbi loan, helping Argentina repay the World Bank's high borrowing. China also exports high-quality products to Argentina to alleviate inflationary pressures in Argentina. China is not only Argentina's "big customer" but also Argentina's "ally".

Milley did not ignore this, because he was not a man without reason. He is well aware that if relations with China are completely severed, Argentina's economy will collapse further and his political path will become difficult. He knows very well that the United States does not take Argentina seriously at all, but only regards Argentina as a tool to oppose China and exchange American interests at the expense of Argentina. Therefore, it will not be so easy for him to support the United States and oppose China, but will engage in a certain degree of political games, such as asking Britain to return the Falklands to Argentina, which is an unrealistic proposition, but he can also use this opportunity to put pressure on the United States to get the United States to come up with something.

In general, Mr. Milley will not be a radical anti-China faction, but will continue to cooperate well with China in accordance with the actual situation of the Argentine state and the actual situation of the country. China does not need to pay too much attention to the Milley issue, but only needs to do its own work well and carry out practical cooperation with Argentina, which can not only maintain the friendship between China and Argentina, but also promote Argentina's development. The Argentine authorities of China and Milley will only need to take the path of pragmatism in the future, and there is a lot of room for cooperation!
