A lot of you have been worried about all of China’s investments in Latin America. I get that it might sound a little scary, but you need to put these actions into the broader context of China’s circumstances.

China is in terminal decline. Its population is aging, and its resources are dwindling. So, they’re not going to be able to sustain these LATAM investments long-term. And don’t try to bring up the Monroe Doctrine, because recent administrations haven’t been enforcing it anyway.

Places like Peru, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina are getting a sweet deal, since this is basically a form of subsidizing future industrialization of the region. And the US is only going to benefit from that as well, since we are partners to many of these countries.

So, if China wants to spend their limited resources (and time) laying the groundwork for a brighter future in a region that the US is so closely tied to, why should we stop ’em?

Here at Zeihan on Geopolitics, our chosen charity partner is MedShare. They provide emergency medical services to communities in need, with a very heavy emphasis on locations facing acute crises. Medshare operates right in the thick of it, so we can be sure that every cent of our donation is not simply going directly to where help is needed most, but our donations serve as a force multiplier for a system already in existence.
