China’s foreign minister visits Cambodia

China’s foreign minister visited Cambodia over the weekend to reaffirm his country’s commitment to the southeast Asian country.

Wang Yi is the first foreign leader to visit Cambodia, days after Hun Sen’s announcement that his 45-year-old son and the country’s army chief, Hun Manet, is replacing him.

Wang Yi met with both Hun Sen, his newly appointed son as well as Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn. He praised the election saying it was free and fair, with more than 80% of Cambodians participating in the presence of several dozens of foreign observers.

Cambodia is a key Chinese diplomatic partner, helping dampen criticism of Beijing within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, several of whose members are engaged in territorial disputes with China in the South China Sea.

A far-right libertarian candidate won Argentina’s open presidential primary election on Sunday, a surprising showing for a politician who wants to adopt the U.S. dollar as Argentina’s official currency and embraces comparisons to Donald Trump.

China detains a military group worker suspected of spying for the CIA

China has detained a worker from a military industrial group on suspicion of spying for the CIA.

The Ministry of State Security, the country’s civilian spy agency, said in a statement that a military industrial worker surnamed Zeng had been providing military secrets to the CIA in exchange for large sums of money.

“Zeng gradually developed a psychological dependence on (the U.S. official), who took the opportunity to indoctrinate him with Western values,” the statement, posted on the ministry’s WeChat page, read.

This guy will most likely be extremely hostile towards China. I found this article from two years ago :

The ultra-liberal Javier Milei, the first candidate for deputy for the City of Buenos Aires, assured that he "would not do business with China", despite the fact that it fluctuates between the first and second destination for Argentine exports. The argument of the referent of Avanza Libertad was extemporaneous: "I do not do transactions with communists."

The far-right economist considered that breaking relations with China would not be a serious macroeconomic problem because "we could make transactions with the civilized side of life", where he placed the countries of the "West".

Milei's McCarthyist position was exposed during an interview with Canal de la Ciudad, in which a journalist began by asking him about the relationship with Cuba and Venezuela -to which he only replied "condemn"-, and then opened the query by the main trading partner of Argentina after Brazil.

"I would not do business with China," the economist tried to evade the question, but when asked about the impact it would have on the Argentine economy to stop exporting grains and meat to the Asian country, Milei insisted on his cold war position: "It is false that it would be a macroeconomic tragedy. We could deal with the civilized side of life. I don't deal with communists."

Then I guess Argentina doesn't have any issues with getting more freedom debts from IMF and further selling off their prized assets at firesale prices. Not to mention their already sky high inflation. I hope he wins.
