The Chinese Government has seized temporary control of the and Bang Insurance Group company and as arrested the companys founder for fraud its a surprising move only furthering chinese president s g. Jim beings Anti Corruption and the leveraging campaigns the government announced it will control the company for at least a year with a possible extension and this isnt an banks first brush with the law in the United States lawmakers brought up ethics concerns when on bang look to invest more than four hundred Million Dollars with cushion your companys the company run by donald trump a son in law jared questioner. The u. S. Has stopped a Chinese State backed deal to buy an American Electric company x. Sara and massachusetts based chip Testing Company withdrew from a five hundred eighty Million Dollars sale to an Investment Group backed by the Chinese Government xers president david tell celie said that the company backed out due to the unlikelihood that the committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would approve the deal the rise of china is a huge story and one that gets lots of coverage here including a boom bust but what about the chinese chinas relationship with latin america and a huge market with a large and diverse array of resources here to discuss the underreported story with us is rebecca ray fellow at the Global Economic governance in initiative at Boston University welcome to boom bust and thank you for joining us professor we sure appreciate it to start with what is driving this relationship between china and some of these countries. The relationship is being driven not only by a growing chinese demand for new Strategic Partnerships with new countries around the world but also by the United States pulling out of that region so when secretary of state Rex Tillerson expressed surprise today at the state that russia and china and other actors are increasingly active in latin america frankly the only thing surprising is that he was surprised when we see China Growing as an export market for latin American Goods and in fact they now account for nine percent of latin american exports the number one export market for south america and number two for the region as a whole that includes twenty five percent of their extractive goods coal oil gas metals its not just because chinas demand is growing its also because the United States has stopped buying those products from latin America China is really only taking up part of the slack so if secretary tellers and is concerned about this he could certainly do something about it but it would be about the United States buying more of latin American Products not asking latin america to stop selling them elsewhere but of course the president has made it clear that hed like to address the trade deficit by importing fewer goods so really theres nothing to be surprised about and nothing to feel offended about as the u. S. Loses market share in latin america because were buying fewer things and the same thing can be said for investment in the area probably the most famous Chinese Investment in latin america is the yes go ahead. No i was going to say have to yet so tell tell us about the difference between you know china and other nations that might want to have a relationship with other countries that i mean it china is helping to prop up some of the the industries and i dont mean that in a negative way but by being a customer they are sort of helping a sort of win win circumstances with these other countries in latin america and thats not a approach really i mean separate from President Trump thats not really approach that u. S. Is known for is it. Absolutely we see the china opportunistically and not in a bad way taking advantage of the fact that financing and investment isnt coming from elsewhere latin america has been looking for example to modernize and green its infrastructure base for generations the United States is pulling out of interacting with latin america in that way so china is there to help prop up those sectors because theyre looking for new ways to lend money out to support chinese contractors abroad and we have an Export Import Bank that also has that same function but rather than aggressively look for opportunities to support our contractors in Infrastructure Projects abroad its fighting for its life in twenty sixteen all of its operations were paused while congress had to debate whether or not it should even exist meanwhile china is taking up the slack by aggressively pursuing opportunities to finance it for structure not only in latin america but all over the world so if secretary tellers and sees this as either an affront or competition we can absolutely address that by stepping up the mission the financial soundness of the u. S. Export import bank and many of us would applaud such an effort unfortunately that runs contrary to the trend of the Us Government is had not only under trump but also under the Previous Congress so again theres nothing particularly to be surprised about but if the us once to increase its role in latin america again the way to do that is to earn it at this point its no longer a given lot america has branched out and made other friends in the absence of a us market in the absence of Us Investment thats to be expected and its absolutely fixable if the u. S. Government sees that as a problem but its going to take action on our part its not going to happen naturally you know james monroe didnt ask permission from latin america when he announced the munroe doctrine an eight hundred fifty and one america certainly never promised not to do business with anyone else and so to hear the secretary tell it and bring up the monro doctrine. While traveling in latin america as if everyone present agreed that it was somehow beneficial for the reason is not only startling but it shows that he hasnt had the staff under him enough to prep him enough to show him that thats not the case like america has other options now they can put their standards on investment coming in from china china doesnt have the same political strings that come on its money that the us money has traditionally come with trying to tell us that we may have made progress or not let me let me ask you just as real quick so i know that you looked at your study which was really great by the way but i know that you looked at eight Different Countries but you sort of had a case study on ecuador can you briefly sort of encapsulate what how what china is doing in ecuador for our viewers. Sure as one of our viewers may not know ecuador was kept out of World Finance markets for seven years after it looked at the debt on its books and discovered that some of it was contracted through fraudulent methods it cancelled those debts and was consequently cut out of International Bond markets for seven years now ecuador is dollar rise that means they cant print its own coast currency its also a very small country that really only exports three or four products so its absolutely crucial crucial for ecuador to have some source of finance if its not from the International Bond market it has to come from somewhere china stepped in and said yes we will in fact place a bet on you because we do believe that you are paying back legitimate debt you cancel illegitimate that but thats not the same thing as defaulting on all of your debt and so china stepped in became the primary lender to ecuador and also became a one of the major Oil Investors in ecuador ecuador started putting rules in its oil sector to say this money will not all leave ecuador this money is not all going to go and live in the coffers of companies in the United States and canada and europe some of this money has to stay here and go to schools and roads and hospitals and china said fine when other countries left china stepped in and now were currently in a situation where as of a few years ago ecuador is now able to join the bond market again and its really entered the bond market and now we see about a third of it that is to china about a third is to mopey laterals and about a fifth such as for example the world bank the inner American Development bank the Development Bank of latin america and another third is this bond market so ecuador is back on its feet in large part because it was able to look to china for financing when world bond markets had turned their back on ecuador thats the kind of partnership that china looks for opportunities to pursue that the u. S. Simply isnt interested in pursuing. So lets take a half a step back other than the trade component which is a real and and you dont sort of obvious it seems to me and this takes place not just in latin america but we see it with the built in Road Initiative that it seems like its a overarching Foreign Policy gambit if you will to avoid conflict in the future and you think thats one of the less articulated i mean you talk about it in your your paper but is that it when people discuss and we look at this theyre probably not catching that part of it hello im afraid i lost you for a moment could you repeat your question please karen rebels you know you reckon china is also yes absolutely and china its important to remember that the corporations are part of the government the banks are part of the government and they all serve chinas Foreign Policy this means that on the one hand when china is supporting its own contractors abroad by lending to Company Countries for their Infrastructure Projects such as the belt the Road Initiatives such as no many many roads dams and other investments in latin america theyre doing so with the blessing of their government and in order to pursue a soft power approach abroad again this is all part of what the u. S. Used to think of the as part of our tool box of soft power of purchase as well but weve dialed back on that side of Diplomacy China however learned from our experiences learned that this is a powerful way to win friends and allies and votes at the u. N. When its time for that and also to support your own and the straits because all of those countries that are putting in infrastructure with chinese money are using chinese contractors to do it so theyre private so theyre contractors are getting money theyre winning the peace with their friends and neighbors and theyre winning votes at the u. N. From their perspective that theres theres no downside to it.
