China’s Xi slams ‘bullying’ as Beijing hosts LatAm leaders

Beijing: As he addressed local officials in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed on May 13 to strengthen relationships with Latin America and condemned “bullying” in a thinly veiled click at the US.

For the China-CELAC ( Community of Latin American and Caribbean States ) Forum, leaders and officials from Latin America and the Caribbean have gathered in the Chinese capital.

In recent years, Beijing has increased its economic and political ties with Latin American countries and called for a united front in opposition to US President Donald Trump’s subsequent storm of tariffs.

Xi praised China’s growing ties to the place in a speech to leaders on Tuesday.

At the beginning meeting, Xi compared the mountain to a “great, strong tree” by saying,” The two factors have a time-honoured history of welcoming markets, despite China’s location being far from the Latin American and Caribbean region.

” Only through cohesion and cooperation is countries secure global peace and stability and encourage global development and prosperity,” Xi said, promising US$ 9.2 billion in credit for “development” for the region. He even warned about “bloc fight.”
