Argentina Will Make Chinese Planes

[camberiu]

A Chinese plane made in Argentina. What could possibly go wrong?
Also, is this to take the Falklands back?



Argentine officials confirm joint-production talks over China's FC-1 fighter

Dude, seriously. Politics aside, if you were a pilot, would you fly a Chinese designed plane manufactured in Argentina?

Everybody knows it's only to safeguard national sovereignty against the perfidious Brits!

no rush to comment yet, may end up like Menem's Space Travel Project ! Or the previous $20 billion dollar investment project by the Chinese with Nestor!

Sounds cool, I did read about it in the newspaper, while on my way to Rosario in the bullet train.

More seriously, we can expect to see China being present more and more in Argentina (and in the Mercosur + Mexico) in order to profit from the free markets (including NAFTA). China is also expected to replace the EU as the second commercial partner of Latin America.

I wonder how the US will react to that in the coming years (Kerry, not long ago, named Latin America as "the US backyard", like in the good ol'times...)

When I read that headline first I thought it was actually a joke...

Multiple discussions doesn't sound like we'll be seeing a signed contract any times soon.

By the time they get round to it we'll be looking at the after effects of more pronounced a Chinese economic contraction and making a planes in Argentina will be the least of anyones worries.
