The BBC was blasting about the meeting between China and nations in South America and the Caribbean as if it was new.
China and my country have had relations since1972. The 'belt and road' project began in 2019.
How is it the 'world's radio station' (the BBC's term) doesn't know this and is broadcasting as if this is all new?
I remember being on IRC in 1995 and deep in discussion with a chap from Kenya about how China had 'invaded' and taken over their markets... the same thing we experienced.
The Tariff's Trump imposed benefitted China and had the world locating other markets.
It amazes me that no one knows this.

It amazes me, too. People still think Trump is so great. One just told me in a thread to give him time, that Trump is doing good. But I don't think that the damage he has already done to our country( the US) can ever be repaired, and I will never forgive him for that. Trump has now given China the upper hand in the market, which the US had flourished in for decades.
