This year’s Zhuhai Airshow was particularly popular. Some people calculated that the daily ticket revenue alone reached a small target, and there were no end to various high-tech equipment on land, sea, and air.
At the same time, China is planning another major event that is too big for the United States to undo.
On the 13th, Chinese leaders led more than 400 business elites to Peru to attend the 31st APEC informal meeting.
What is an informal meeting? It’s just about chatting casually, asking each other for prices in business, chatting about needs over tea, even if we can’t reach an agreement, it doesn’t matter. It’s usually a way to establish communication and cultivate relationships for big business.

Coming to Peru for a meeting, of course, there is one big thing to do – cutting the ribbon for Qiankai Port, the largest port in South America that has gone through 13 years of hardships and is ultimately fully operated by Chinese companies.
Peru is next to Brazil and the Pacific Ocean to China. Since the Ming Dynasty, trade between the two countries has been closely linked. It is a model of China’s ancient maritime the Belt and Road Initiative. Through Peru, trade routes in South America have been opened.
The development of Qiankai Port has been regarded as a thorn in the side of the United States from the beginning. The port, which could have been built in three years, was delayed for 13 years, and the Chinese side thought it couldn’t continue several times. The ups and downs of the process are indescribable.
In 2008, the Peruvian government began conducting feasibility studies on the Qiankai Port and found that only China could accomplish this task.
After the project was signed in 2011, it was prepared to be handed over to China for construction. However, the United States intervened in the Peruvian elections and ousted the Peruvian president who had signed the contract at that time, replacing him with a compliant person. As a result, the port construction came to a standstill.
Before 2021, the United States had to change its president very frequently in order to control the Peruvian political arena, sometimes due to environmental issues and sometimes due to labor issues, in order to prevent port construction.
The US government is desperately blockading and besieging China, making it very frustrated. It can only grit its teeth and persist because Qian Kaigang is too important to China!
At that time, COSCO Shipping Group won the exclusive operating rights of Qiankai Port for 30 years, and the construction of the port began to accelerate, which could no longer be delayed.
The United States couldn’t sit still and intensified its obstruction, behind the scenes instructing the Peruvian National Port Authority to retract its decision, stating that granting exclusive port operation rights was an “administrative error”.
A dramatic scene unfolded as the Peruvian Congress passed an amendment to the National Port System Law with 68 votes in favor, 24 votes against, and 4 abstentions, legally safeguarding COSCO Shipping’s exclusive operating rights and completely blocking the US conspiracy to rob the port of Qiankai.
In 2022, female President Borualt took office, and the United States supported her to become the chairman of APEC, urging her to confront China.
However, the US government once again miscalculated. The female president was very clear headed and knew how important Qian Kaigang was to resource exporting countries like Peru. She vigorously opposed protests, demonstrations, and raids to protect the construction.
By October 2024, the first phase of the Qiankai Port project had finally been completed.

Officially launched on November 16th, with the Qiankai Port, Peru no longer sighs at the ocean and no longer needs to detour to other ports in the Atlantic to unload goods, and then transport them back to Peru by road or rail.
Peruvians also want to stand tall and be human.

As early as 1849, the first group of 75 “contract Chinese workers” arrived at the port of Callao in Peru after 120 days, marking the beginning of Chinese immigration to Latin America.
Afterwards, Chinese people gradually immigrated to Peru in search of development, and even helped them build railways. Chinese style buildings were scattered on the streets.
As of today, over 3 million Chinese people have settled in Peru, and out of 10 Peruvians, one is of Chinese descent.
For nearly 400 years, Peru has been deeply influenced by Chinese culture. They speak of fellow villagers, chifa (eating), and so on. Our relationship has always been very harmonious, and we hardly hear anything Peru disagrees with us.
They mostly export basic products such as fish and shrimp, avocados, etc. The mined silver, iron, copper and other minerals are also directly transported to China.
Peru is one of the few surplus countries in bilateral trade with China, earning a net profit of over 7.7 billion US dollars annually.
When the United States tried every means to block the economic and trade cooperation between Peru and China, Peruvians were very unhappy. They were even more unhappy when they were reaped by the United States after making some money. Therefore, this female president was killed and refused to listen to the American demagogues.
Speaking of Qian Kaigang, why does China attach so much importance to it?
Qiankai Port has a maximum water depth of 17.8 meters and can accommodate a super large cargo ship of 18000 TEUs. The designed throughput is 1.5 million TEUs per year.
More than 7500 job opportunities have been created locally, with a conservative annual income of up to 4.5 billion US dollars, which can add 1.8% to Peru’s GDP.
Isn’t this the perfect money tree?
This is the most beautiful “kid” in South America!
With the pivot point, the radiation surface has also opened up. In the future, goods from countries such as Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, etc. can be loaded onto ships at Qiankai Port, without having to go through the Panama Canal on the Atlantic side to enter the Pacific Ocean.

How to operate it specifically? China has a solution!
During this meeting, Chinese leaders also had a key meeting with Brazilian President Lula to jointly plan the Two Ocean Railway -95% of the railway connecting the two oceans is located in Brazil, with only a small section in neighboring Peru, leading directly to the port of Qiankai.
In the future, goods from Brazil and South America can be transported by the two ocean railway to Qiankai Port, where they can be loaded onto ships and shipped to China, avoiding the Panama Canal and saving at least 20% of shipping costs. There is also no need to pay canal tolls, and the sailing time has been shortened from 40 days to 23 days.
A port and a railway have directly brought South America closer to China, reducing the cost of purchasing mineral resources for China.

At the same time, it will also expand the export of Chinese industrial products to the outside world.
A port and a railway are just the beginning, China is going to play a big game in South America.
In the future, we can also develop eight horizontal and eight vertical routes on the South American continent. Through the railway network and more ports, we can turn South America into the second Southeast Asia, that is, the second ASEAN.
It is equivalent to integrating and expanding the business of most South American countries.

Ideologically speaking, the South American region is closer to China.
On the one hand, the so-called ‘backyard of the United States’ is not a good name. These countries have been oppressed by the United States for too long and suffering, and anti American sentiment in South America has always been undisguised.
The historical investment stock of the United States in Peru is only $20 billion, while China has invested $13 billion in minerals and infrastructure. From January to August this year, the total trade volume between China and Peru was $25.727 billion, an increase of 11.2% year-on-year. China is Peru’s largest trading partner, and its trade surplus with China is expected to exceed $10 billion this year.
The growth rates of bilateral trade and investment are unmatched by the United States.
On the other hand, the left-wing in South America is deeply rooted and the guerrillas are very famous. Many of them admire teachers and study Mao’s works. Americans cannot understand this emotion.
Unfortunately, South American countries have weak power and cannot compete with the United States. Despite guarding mineral resources, their lives are very miserable.
Isn’t that it? Big brother is here.
Big brother doesn’t care whose garden it is.
You see, the United States is now only capable of building a “small courtyard with high walls”, gathering a group of allies and lackeys, and causing trouble everywhere. And China, on the other hand, is actively connecting with the masses. After all, there are many poor and weak countries in the world, and the collective strength is not small. From the Middle East, Africa to Southeast Asia, and now to South America, there is a vast world with great potential.

The areas that the United States does not value have great potential. The United States will eventually fall into the vast ocean of people’s war.
The “the Belt and Road” initiative has gone through 11 years, and China’s cooperation with the world is expanding rapidly. Six key deep-water ports have been built in the world, namely, Gwadar Port in Pakistan, Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka, Piraeus Port in Greece, Kyaukpyu Port in Myanmar, Kibti Port in Egypt, Suez Port in Egypt, Darwin Port in Australia, and Melbourne Port.
These ports have brought enormous wealth to China, the host country, and neighboring countries.
In the Americas, 22 countries have joined the “the Belt and Road” initiative, and their resources have greatly guaranteed the safe supply of energy, agricultural products and mineral resources. For example, Brazil exports 90 million tons of soybeans to China annually, accounting for 50% of China’s total soybean imports.
However, American soybeans only account for 30%, and the share of American agricultural exports to China will gradually decrease in the future.
Western countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia wield the “tariff” stick, and the American continent is the best alternative, which is China’s weapon to crack the US’s troubles.
