This amazing opportunity China now has down there is certainly Trump's faultWay to go Trump! Pledge your protectionism at home and move our Central & South American trading partners closer to China with your "America First" propaganda tour! The stupid, foolish and undiplomatic words from your mouth and actions have definite consequences you PUTZ and you haven't even been sworn in yet!
"China Seizes Opening in U.S. Backyard as Trump Upends Policy
As Donald Trump weighs plans to tear up trade deals and deport illegal migrants from Latin America, Chinese President Xi Jinping is moving swiftly to reset relations in America’s backyard.
Xi returned from a Latin American swing last week having lavished Ecuador with $10 billion in energy and infrastructure deals, and bestowed Ecuador and Chile with China’s highest diplomatic status. He told Peru’s Congress relations were “standing at a new historical starting point.” While attending a summit in Lima with his lame duck U.S. counterpart, Barack Obama, he cast China as the region’s most eager trade advocate.
The Chinese leader’s trip highlighted how Trump’s surprise election win was tipping the geopolitical scales even before the Republican takes office with his “America First” platform. Until the vote, China had grappled with how to advance its more than 15-year foray into the traditional U.S. sphere, as its demand for commodities slows and left-wing political allies face setbacks in the region.
Now China finds itself in position to become Latin America’s primary growth driver, increasing its chances of surpassing the U.S. as the region’s largest trading partner."

So China has been working in the area for 15 years and it's suddenly Trumps fault, REALLY?
Wow, I'm impressed, a regressive throws out another opinion with no justification, GOOD JOB!
No justification? Did you miss the entire election? America just elected a big middle finger pointing at central and south America. His #1 platform point was to build a wall to keep them out for good.
If I were China, I'd be making all kinds of deals with them. Militarily as well as economically. Cuba too, once Trump cuts off our ties with them.
