China's Willingness to Collaborate with Argentina Remains Strong Despite Criticism from President-Elect Milei

China expresses readiness to work with Argentina despite criticism from president-elect Javier Milei, who has previously likened the Chinese government to an "assassin" and expressed a desire to stop interacting with China and Brazil. Outgoing President Alberto Fernandez had emphasized cooperation with China and hailed them as a "true friend" of Argentina. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that cutting ties with major countries like China or Brazil would be a huge foreign policy mistake for Argentina. The Chinese state media has downplayed Milei's comments but highlighted that it would be Argentina's loss if it were to shut China out of its market.
