Argentina demands right to inspect Chinese antenna facility

The Argentina government of Javier Milei is now demanding the right to inspect a Chinese antenna facility that was established in Argentina in 2014 and began operating in 2017 under a 50-year-lease.

Under the agreement between the two nations, 10% “of the resources in the base must be utilized by Argentina.” However, China has been operating the facility unsupervised from the beginning. Likely built to support China’s space program, manned and planetary, U.S. officials have also suggested it is being used for military purposes, a possibility that cannot be dismissed since all of China’s space program falls under the supervision of the People’s Liberation Army.

Milei apparently wants a hand in its operation, or at least a much clearer idea of what it is doing. It is very possible he will even shut it down if he is not satisfied with the answers he gets.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    The Chinese Communist Party are loan sharks. They loan billions to third world dictators with their country’s natural resources as collateral. When the dictators flee to Monte Carlo with all the loot the CCP then steals all the minerals. Any “infrastructure” the CCP builds is so cheap it starts crumbling immediately.

    The primary role of any government is to protect its citizens. Milei is Argentina’s Trump.

    I absolutely LOVE this man! He is doing what EVERY LEADER of EVERY Nation should do – act in the BEST interests of HIS NATION! THAT is why the left so hated and HATE PRESIDENT TRUMP – he actually wants to put the USA ahead of the rest of the world! Imagine that!

    I hope President Milei gets in there and finds out what is really happening and “politely” reminds China that they can keep their Plant but HE will appoint people to run it! If all they want is their products then that shouldn’t be an issue! If they are there for OTHER reasons – well then!
