I have less and less time to keep up with international events these days. Aside from a huge work burden, a family life and too much time spent on this forum some days, I just catch bits and pieces here and there anymore. I saw an article on the front page again that piqued my curiosity and I was surprised to see the possible Chinese "colonization" that may be going on behind the scenes of Argentina's loan deal with China.
http://www.buenosair...cord-with-china
We're talking a couple of serious agreements that may include displacing Argentine workers with an influx of Chinese workers (not just technical specialists, but laborers as well) and special rules for those workers outside Argentine law, special treatment of China with regard to the foreign ownership of land restrictions, and overall the new type of colonization, or making of dependent states, that we all saw before, what Argentina so often blames Great Britain and the US for having done to ruin their poor country.
We may be seeing the same thing in the 21st century, first-hand. Argentina doesn't seem to be taking a deep breath after the RUFO clause expired on the bond situation and is apparently not making a deal that would free up Argentina to finance its own expansion, and even into markets (as mentioned at the end of the article) in Asia and the Middle East, teaming up with fellow Mercorsur countries and using their united front as effectively as the US, Europe, China, Japan, etc., to raise up their economy and raise so many people out of poverty.
Instead, it appears that the Argentine government is walking into an indentured servitude, or worse, with a power that isn't as forgiving as its previous "colonial devils". It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
BTW - somewhen before 2010 I believe, there was a visa program that was supposed to be targeted at Chinese workers to get permanent residency. i believe it was because of anti-rascism wording in laws or constitution that they couldn't make it effective only for Chinese nationality. I know a number of people who got residency through that program, which has since been cancelled. It was unofficially called the "Chinese Visa Program".
For you who are looking for a possible residency "in", I'm wondering if we won't see an immigration bill come through doing some kind of similar program in the next year, or maybe two if Cristina's party stays in power.
Oh yeah - and Argentina's deal with Russia for sending them food exports is a lease agreement on 12 Sukhoi Su-24 supersonic fighters to "patrol Port Stanley". Will there be war with GB? Will Cristina foment an emergency situation that requires she stay in the Pink House indefinitely? http://au.ibtimes.co...tina-russia.htm
Keep your eyes on the news...
