Tillerson had said last week that China could become a new imperial power in Latin America, “and accused it of deploying unfair trade practices”, wrote VOA News, who also explains that sine China overtook the United States as Peru’s biggest trade partner seven years ago, bilateral relations have tightened.
VOA News also points out that President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski’s first official trip abroad after taking office was to China, which is another sign of the positive relations between these two nations.
