China eyes new turf: S. America

p4a From The Christian Science Monitor: “When President Bush arrives here Friday for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum, he’s likely to be met by student protesters already in the streets chanting against “globalization,” “colonialism,” and the US occupation of Iraq.

But China’s President Hu Jintao is getting quite a different reception. For two weeks now, he’s been cutting ribbons at new factories in Argentina, enjoying beef barbecues in Brazil, addressing congresses, and announcing investment projects as he and 150 Chinese businessmen make their way across South America and on to Cuba. ”
