- Objective reasons to maximise profits of the USA capitalists and the Chinese capitalists are driving to the continuing division of the world. We will discuss in more detail elsewhere the seismic shifts in South America taking place under the fight for supremacy between China and the USA. However, here is only a small indication to add to our prior discussions on this:
“Nicaragua has handed mining concessions covering more than a tenth of its land to Chinese companies in the past three years, expanding Beijing’s foothold in the gold-rich country as it tussles with Washington for influence. The Central American autocracy has awarded 80 concessions that together cover land roughly the size of Northern Ireland to Chinese miners since 2023…
For Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega, the mining concessions are part of projects designed to curry favour with Beijing, which include ports on its Pacific and Atlantic coasts and a major airport redevelopment…
The concessions deepen China’s relationship with its closest partner in the region at a time when the US is expanding its reach into overseas mining and claiming dominance of the Western Hemisphere under the so-called ‘Monroe Doctrine…
While individuals in Ortega’s regime have been under US sanctions since 2017, China says its partnership with Nicaragua has enjoyed “tremendous development” since they re-established bilateral relations in 2021.”
