It cannot be required that the presidents of the South America. Franklin Roosevelt (1933-1945) called General and George W. Bush (2001-2009) asked Fernando Henrique Cardoso if there were blacks in Brazil. Punctual ignorance is a condition of mankind. After all, no one is obliged to know everything, but the problem gets worse when the subject recycles his own ignorance and believes he has achieved wisdom. This is the case of and your class.
The Secretary of Defense, Peter Hegseth, said that “the Obama government (…) has allowed it to infiltrate all over South and Central America with its economic and cultural influence” and added: “We are resuming our backyard.” The doctor spoke of the Panama Canal, where Chinese companies settled in the vacuum left by the commercial interests of the United States.
China invests in raw materials and infrastructure in, Africa and according to their interests. There is not one case of Chinese initiative against the will of a country. (The Panama Canal was torn from Colombia in the early 20th century.)
Trump’s myopia and his class is wanting to make a policy at a single time isolation and expansionist, advancing over Panama, Greenland, the “resuming our backyard.” They want to cure hangover by taking another sip.
Leaving aside generic considerations, one can go to the world of facts. While the United States strangle study centers such as Washington’s Wilson Center, the community of Latin American and Caribbean states (Celac) will meet in May. Where? Beijing.
The Empire of the Environment is patient, methodical and discreet. In 1996, while Donald Trump took care of Cassinos real estate, China sent a commercial mission to Fortaleza. In it, thinner and boy with a boy, was the deputy governor of the province of Fujian ,. He returned in 2014 for a BRICS meeting. Xi has already met with three Brazilian presidents and will meet Lula again at the Celac meeting.
The US government had, but it no longer has, active diplomacy in Latin America. Roosevelt thought Getúlio Vargas was a general, but sent Adolf Berle, one of his main advisers, to the embassy in Rio. Today, the United States cultural ties with his “backyard” remain strong, but trumpland harass foreign students and widescout their universities. All good. Gone are the time when Ralph Della Cava ran for Ceará studying the life of Father Cicero and Alfred Stepan was in Rio researching the policy of the military. The new time came, with the intimidation of American universities and the goal of silencing radical thinking. Go there, but the problem is elsewhere.
The Brazilian owes part of his prosperity to sales he makes to China (close to $ 50 billion in 2024). When Della Cava and Stepan were young researchers, one of the great refrigerators that operated in Brazil was Armor, with the name of the tycoon that helped revolutionize the US food industry in the 19th century, where Trump wants to take his country and, together, the “backyard”.
