Javier Milei’s trip to China will not take place. Sources consulted by LPO explained that the Chinese government considers that the Argentine press made a misinterpretation of what had been announced two weeks ago and that the time to organize a high-level meeting is very short.
The renewal of the swap with China has become a critical issue for the progress of the economic plan, because if it were not renewed between June and July, the government would have required a disbursement of 5,000 million dollars, a very strong blow to the objective of rebuilding reserves. .
China renews the swap for a year and now they are waiting for a gesture from Milei
It is worth remembering, as published exclusively by LPO, that the Asian giant made it a condition to extend the swap expiration for one year that Addendum 12 be signed, which allows for the reactivation of the works on the two Santa Cruz dams and a political rectification.
Given this, it was unofficially reported that one of the gestures claimed was a trip to China on the part of Milei, which would have meant a resounding symbolic defeat for the libertarian.
Coincidentally, after confirming the swap, Guillermo Francos fired Omar De Marchi, the main link with Taiwan who was building a special area to link with the rebel island, as revealed exclusively by LPO.
“Political rectifications also mean stopping saying things that affect the relationship and not flirting with Taiwan anymore,” details the source.

Now, the bilateral meeting could be at the G20 summit to be held in November in Rio de Janeiro in a clear resistance by Xi Jiping to receive him with honors in his country in the short term. “Only after that eventual meeting could it be decided when to meet in China,” a diplomatic source assures LPO.
“If there is a Milei-Xi Jinping meeting, it will be at the G20. In China, with the wind in our sails and everything, it will not be before 2025,” they conclude.
