阿根廷足球名将梅西下星期四（6月15On the day, the Argentine National Team will lead a friendly match between Beijing and Australia.There are nine days before the game, but the vast Chinese fans seem to be unable to bear the excitement.
This game was the first time that Argentina won the 2022 Qatar World Cup championship.Perhaps to see this football player and Messi's style, the first round of tickets for the game will be snatched up by the public immediately after the sale on Monday (June 5).
Although many people spit out the fares on the Internet "highly high" and "big cut leeks", the tickets are still "spike", and some scalpel fares have been fired to more than five digits.The degree of welcome is comparable to the recent concert held by the Taiwan Orchestra in Mayday in Beijing.
Because of the popularity of the game, a lot of false information circulated on the Chinese network.For example, it is reported that it costs 300,000 yuan (RMB, the same, about S $ 57,000) in a restaurant in Beijing, and Messi can let Messi come to toast and take photos.In this regard, the official Weibo "Ping An Beijing" of the Beijing Public Security Bureau has posted a rumor and said: "Messi will come toasting? If these 300,000 can be deceived, the uncle of the police officer respects you."
Although this is a joke, it reflects Messi's high popularity in China.Messi led the Argentine team to win the Hercules Cup more than 30 years later, and also completed his individual Grand Slam in football.Therefore, global fans, including countless Chinese fans, all have the reputation of the "King of the Ball" for him.
However, those who pay attention to the current political and international situation are not concerned about how the Argentine team led by Messi fights with the Australian team on the court. They think of Argentina's recent close interaction with China.
Argentina has recently interacted with China
Argentine, a South American country, signed an agreement with China on Friday (June 2).The exchanges are extended for another three years, and funds can be increased from 35 billion yuan to 70 billion yuan.
Some analysts said that the move will provide more breathing space for Argentina to respond to the country's currency Bados selling to alleviate the country's inflation crisis.Grain exports are the main sources of income in Argentina. This year's historic drought has reduced Argentina's income sharply, and foreign exchange reserves have dropped sharply.
For China, this is an opportunity to expand the use of RMB globally to reduce dependence on the US dollar.
In addition to the above agreements, China and Argentina also signed a cooperation plan for the Chinese government and the Argentine government on the construction of the "Belt and Road" construction in Beijing that day.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on Monday that the signing of the above documents in China and Arabia will further promote the "Belt and Road" cooperation with China in Latin America and the Caribbean region.Realistic.
Earlier, China and Argentina issued a joint statement when Argentina President Alberto Fernandez met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing in February last year, announcing the signing of a memorandum of understanding of the "Belt and Road" construction.
In addition, the Argentine government said in April this year that it will use RMB to pay about $ 1 billion (about S $ 1.335 billion) in China in April this year. Since then, the monthly payment value is equivalent to $ 790 millionImported products.Argentine Economic Minister Massa said the decision aims to alleviate Argentina's decreasing US dollar reserves.
The "bad" economy in Argentina
Foreign Policy published a signature review article in May last year.One of the author, Ariel González Levaggi, deputy professor of international relations in Argentine Catholic University, said that economic problems in Argentine politics have been difficult to eliminate for decades, and the crown disease epidemic has further destroyed its weak economic foundation.
Article analysis, debt and repeated financial crisis make Argentina unable to guarantee long -term stable growth."Today, Argentina's GDP (GDP) is almost the same as ten years ago, second only to Venezuela, and the country has always been one of the worst performances in emerging market bond indexes."
ArticleIt is pointed out that in addition to Argentina's tightening measures to restrict excess public expenditure, it is difficult for the country to obtain financing from Western companies in the international market.China seized this opportunity to help solve the dilemma of Argentina, and also exerted greater influence.
The Economist Economist (The Economist) said in March this year that the Washington Think Tank America Dialogue (Inter-American Dialogue) said that from 2007 to 2021, 62 pens issued by Chinese commercial banks in Latin America in Latin AmericaMore than half of the loans flowed to Argentina.
Previously, China -Arab relations were mainly driven by junior products.The article published in the New York Times in 2019 said that most of Argentina's soybean products were exported to China.The latter's demand for soy sauce, tofu and feed has continued to rise, which has stimulated the surge in the soybean industry in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.
Economist articles pointed out that in recent decades, the bilateral trade volume of Argentina and China has increased from US $ 2.3 billion in 2001 to 26 billion US dollars last year.
The relationship between China and Argentina
Latin American countries are regarded as the "backyard" of the United States, and Argentina's diplomatic relations with the United States are also close.By expanding economic cooperation with Argentina, China is radiating influence to the backyard of the United States.
Foreign policy published a comment article last year that China is constantly "lure" Argentina's in -depth area of its geopolitical influence.For Washington, Buenos Aires is an important partner of peace and democracy and stability in the Americas, and China ’s demonstration of Argentina has helped Beijing to obtain geopolitical returns.
The article lists multiple examples, including China is funding to the construction of the third largest hydropower station in Argentina, and also promises to fund the fourth nuclear power plant in Argentina -this is the first time that Beijing has exported this sensitive infrastructure to Latin America.
In addition, China has also attracted the attention of geopolitical competitors in the Antarctic and global maritime operations in recent years.The article pointed out that China ’s funding for Argentine’ s polar logistics facilities in the Big Strait has attracted attention because the facility can be used as a gateway to Antarctica and a strategic throat near the global maritime transportation -Magellan Strait and Drake Strait.
The article emphasizes that all these investment occurred before the "Belt and Road" initiative was proposed. Argentina recently joined the initiative to accelerate such projects, "and" providing more reason for Washington to worry about. "
From a geographical sense, China is the farthest country in Argentina.The straight line distance from Beijing to Buenos Aires is about 20,000 kilometers.
Economic and trade cooperation shorten the distance between China and Arabia, but the dependence and vulnerability will inevitably increase.For example, China is the main export market of Argentine pork. In early 2022, due to the decline in the demand of the Chinese market, Argentine pork exports plummeted by 90.6%.
How to maintain a moderate distance in the process of getting closer and closer to China to avoid being affected by the increasingly fierce competition between China and the United States, and the difficulty beyond kicking a beautiful arc on the court.ball.
For the Argentine and most fans in the world, the most hoped to see is still high -level ball games, rather than constantly rising geopolitical risks.
