From....http://thediplomat.com/2016/09/will-china-make-the-most-of-colombias-peace-deal-with-farc/
Now that Colombia has signed a landmark peace deal, can China make inroads against U.S. influence?
China has been increasing it's influence with cold hard cash within South America over the last few years.
....Venezuela, which by far in the last couple of years has received the most, got 17 loans from the PRC totaling $65 billion. Brazil was second, with eight loans totaling $21.8 billion, followed by Argentina (eight loans, $15.3 billion), Ecuador (11 loans, $15.2 billion), and Bolivia (six loans, $1.6 billion). Colombia did not even make the list. In 2014, Bogota received only one loan totaling $75 million dollars"
Considering Colombia is desperate for money will China step up and "loan" the money Colombia needs? Considering China is a growing trading partner with Colombia I personally think it's inevitable?

I would think they would have learned from the US mistake trying to get into bed with every country you can, and throwing money around like there is no tomorrow. Chickens are coming home to roost now for the US. I love seeing China and Russia do the same.

scumbuster said: Hey nothing would do my heart wonder than seeing the same thing. However, China is little more business savvy compared to Russia. They embrace capitalism enough to sustain wealth while still embracing communism. They do well with countries that lean toward the socialistic side of the coin. Plus they have enough 'small friends' in their pocket when it comes to the UN. "Back us or else!!!" These countries seem to understand that gambit more than the US knows how to play it!

And they do not want to put all their money in US$. Better hard assets in different countries.
