China on Tuesday issued a warning to Argentina that it would be a “huge foreign policy mistake” for Buenos Aires to cut ties, shortly after right-wing libertarian Javier Milei secured victory in the South American nation’s presidential runoff.
Milei, who on Sunday comfortably beat Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa, had been sharply critical of China on the campaign trail and pledged to freeze relations with one of Argentina’s most important trading partners.
I thought he was an anarcho-capitalist. How is cutting trade relations free market oriented?
Regardless of what horror show is China and value of such statements, I am sure that Argentina will go through quite a few policy opsies over next few years
Cut China, increase trade with Mexico & US wouldn’t be the dumbest idea in the world but “strong leaders” tend to avoid the US so I’m not sure what his plan is
good. Fuck china.
Argentina has embarked on a character growth journey. God speed.
Not wanting to be an economic slave to China is just good sense. I bet they won’t be the last Latin American country to shed the economic yoke of the PRC.
Looks like the Reddit Generals have become Reddit Economists

They should try telling his cloned dogs that. They are the ones advising him.
Can’t wait for Jason Bateman to play this dude in the movie.
This guy is going to do some much dumb shit
Chainsaw says no
Omg are we seriously back on the pro-China bandwagon now? People here have been shouting to “cut China off” for years lol
The start of many more mistakes to come.
Hold on to your hats, Argentina.
The new president of Argentina wants to cut ties with China and Brazil, both are the largest commercial partners of Argentina. Of course it’s a dumb idea.
More countries should be cutting ties with them. They are the enemy.
Maybe China shouldn’t have made those video ads for Massa’s campaign.
Wow, so, fuck China and Brazil, and declaring war on England. Not a bad 24 hours…
You want to see inflation double in Argentina? Cut off trade with China and Brazil. Prices will sky rocket. El Loco may just want to cut off government to government ties but I expect the other parties will play hard ball with Argentina.
Redditors back to siding with china because a pro western leader is on the right lol. Aren’t yall tired of every big country in SA sucking Russia and Chinas dick?
They said this guy used to be an “economist”? It is almost certain that, if he follows all his words, Argentina is headed from a disaster to a even bigger disaster economic-wise.
