Xi delivers video speech to CELAC 6th Summit, calls for building community of shared future between China, LatAm

The 6th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) was held Saturday in Mexico City. At the invitation of Mexico, the rotating presidency of CELAC, Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a video speech to the summit.

Xi pointed out that 10 years ago, CELAC was born under the efforts of Latin American and Caribbean countries to pursue independence and seek strength in unity, which was a milestone in the process of regional integration. In the past 10 years, CELAC has played an important role in maintaining peace and stability and promoting common development in the region.

Xi said that China attaches great importance to developing relations with CELAC, and supports CELAC in coordinating regional countries to carry out cooperation and cope with challenges.

"In July 2014, the leaders of regional countries and I jointly announced the establishment of the Forum of China and CELAC, which has developed a new way for the comprehensive cooperation between China and Latin America," said Xi.

He added that over the past seven years, the forum has flourished and become a major platform for bringing together friendly forces from all walks of life in China and Latin America, and has made important contributions to deepening China-Latin America relations.

Xi stressed that having stood the test of changing international landscape, China-Latin America relations have entered a new era featuring equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness and tangible benefits for the people.

"China-Latin America friendship is time-honored and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people," said Xi.

He noted that since last year, facing the unexpected COVID-19 outbreak, China and Latin America have lent each other a helping hand and carried out all-around cooperation against the pandemic.

"China will continue to provide support to Latin American and Caribbean countries to the best of its capability, and help the regional countries overcome the pandemic at an early date and resume economic and social development," Xi said, adding that China is willing to work with Latin American and Caribbean countries to overcome difficulties together and jointly create opportunities to build a community of shared future between China and Latin America.

That's awesome to hear, that's real geopolitical policy we're watching. Not posturing and paperweight like the US does.

And then the US will proceed to make anyone dealing with China to be our enemy.

China: We'll help you build suicide nets around all your factories so you can pay your impoverished workers even less. Got any groups that don't want to play nice? We've got a great system where you systematically eradicate them while they work for free! For no added cost, we'll even through in an army of social media stans who will insist what you're doing isn't genocide.

But that's correct. We are also our own enemy for dealing with China, as well as countries like Saudi Arabia and Israel.

If you don't cut off evil governments, then you are evil by proxy. The company you keep.

Sure, but there is no evil by proxy when you are evil yourself.

So, China wants to move to Mexico, where they'd be right next to the US?

Now would be a good time to start learning Mandarin.

<_<

Then it is evil all the way down.

China still sucks tho

Latam should be worried.

chinas model is to give a country a lot of supposedly free stuff, to build a lot of stuff for them and to loan them a lot of money, all for the low price of literally signing away their sovereignty and property over specific areas of the country. Thats how China has taken over a lot of Africa

Yes, I agree the Chinese government sucks.

What's important is that these other countries get the resources to indutrialize and trade instead of just being raw good exporters.

Time to bring back Monroe Doctrine
