China is doubling down on partnerships with Latin American countries, blending big infrastructure projects with quirky cultural exchanges—think Peruvian alpaca plushies stealing the show at trade expos! During a press briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian highlighted how cooperation is fueling real-world impact, from powering Brazilian cities to boosting artisan incomes.
Take Oswaldo Mamani, a Peruvian craftsman: his 'warmpaca' stuffed animals went from selling 100 items annually to becoming a CIIE (China International Import Expo) sensation. Now, his workshop spans three floors with hundreds of local artisans. 'China’s a blessing,' Mamani said, crediting the partnership for lifting his community’s economy.
Lin also spotlighted mega-projects like Brazil’s Belo Monte transmission line, an 'electricity expressway' powering 22 million residents, and water supply systems in Costa Rica that keep taps flowing. 'These aren’t just projects—they’re bridges for shared happiness,' Lin emphasized, reaffirming China’s focus on 'small but beautiful' initiatives alongside large-scale wins.
With both sides prioritizing livelihoods, China vows to keep the collabs coming—proving global teamwork can be both impactful and adorable.
