You are attributing to the Peronista governments a situation they didn't create. It was Mauricio Macri who asked for the $50 billion USD loan from the IMF. He kept the exchange rate fixed for a limited time to allow the rich in Argentina to funnel their money from pesos to dollars he got from the loan, and then let it float, which caused the devaluation of the peso. And Milei already said he will ask for yet another IMF loan.

It should be noted that this is also why China has spared no expense to make sure it have Russia on their side because should the USA attempt to use nukes, they want to be sure that Russia will aid them in a decisive second strike that will decapitate the USA, not to mention the overall emphasis on missiles with extreme speed and payload delivery above all else. Given that the USA is losing the Middle East due to its actions in Israel not to mention their failures in Ukraine, it would be important to continue to emphasis the sheer extend of these failures to help mitigate any attempts by the USA to attempt a hot war in the pacific, by making sure the USA supply chain as screwed up as possible to ensure that they will not have the ability to wage a full scale war against China with extreme cost involved, not to mention. That if they try, they will have an angry Russia wanting payback for Ukraine, not to mention an angry Middle East whose petrol/gas valves are shut for the USA and Europe to ensure that any deployment isn’t going to be anywhere near as easy as they want it to be. In the end, if the USA makes a critical mistake, China would have to be prepared for the sake of its security to ensure that what ever blow it unleashed on the USA is as damaging as possible to ensure that the USA cannot respond. The USA wants to destroy china and grind the nation under its heel, then they should be completely prepared for the same in return without any of these childish human rights excuses. Some people might think the USA is strong but one must realise that it’s strength is also rapidly depleting if they don’t sort out the Middle East and Ukraine properly to avoid a geo political smash, not to mention all those weapons they are sending need years to restock, they don’t have years to do this
By the way, if you don't mind, could you please elaborate further more on this?
Regarding Beijing, I do recall about the underground tunnel and bunker networks beneath the city that were built during the 1960s and 1970s, i.e. during the height of Sino-Soviet confrontation. The Mao administration was actively preparing the city for potential nuclear attacks and invasion by the Soviet Union (which thankfully never materialize). Many of those original bunker and tunnels have long been turned over for civilian use.
However, seeing you suggesting that various other Chinese cities across China are also preparing for doomsday (especially in recent years instead of being part of the Third Front Project) is pretty surprising, ngl.
Anyone else here who knows more about this, feel free to chip in as well!

Of course the underground metro systems also provide good shelters if necessary.
From what I heard the metros in China lack blast doors and improved ventilation required for being bomb proof.
Even in Russia, outside of the original Moscow Metro area, the subway systems lack those capabilities.
Of course, any underground metro system that is built deep enough can certainly withstand a nuclear detonation (as long as the detonation is airburst instead of surface).
However, what's more interesting are the "underground car parks with multi-layer blast-proof doors" "underground bomb shelters" "foundations deeper than necessary"-type of installations and facilities. That is, features in cities and urban areas that are deemed unique and not found to be common anywhere else.

This has been a requirement for all high rise building with underground garages since forever, at least early 2000s. Can call it a holdover from cold war days, think its similar in South Korea.
Psst want some YJ-12?
