Middle East crisis is pushing China to deepen Latin America ties
Source ↗ 👁 1 💬 0

The disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, the jump in oil prices and the shock to shipping and energy markets have reinforced a lesson for Beijing: vulnerability begins with concentration. When one region becomes more unstable, the value of diversified suppliers, routes and external partners rises.
That is why Latin America matters more to.
