CGTN: From Chancay to Shanghai: Transforming Latin America’s trade future

Published

BEIJING, Nov. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — “From Chancay to Shanghai” has become a popular slogan in Peru as the Chancay Port, a flagship project of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), held a grand opening ceremony on Thursday.

The $1.3 billion mega project is set to revolutionize regional trade by accommodating the world’s largest cargo ships and significantly reducing shipping times. The first phase of the project will reduce the sea shipping time from Peru to China to 23 days, cutting logistics costs by at least 20 percent.

The new port has four berths with a maximum depth of 17.8 meters, capable of hosting ultra-large container ships with a capacity of 18,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). The port’s designed annual throughput capacity is one million TEUs in the near term and 1.5 million TEUs in the long term, positioning it as a key hub for trade between Latin America and Asia.

Chinese President Xi said in his signed article, published Thursday in the Peruvian media outlet El Peruano, that the Chancay Port project is expected to generate $4.5 billion in yearly revenues for Peru and create over 8,000 direct jobs.

Xi and his Peruvian counterpart Dina Boluarte attended the opening ceremony of Chancay Port via video link on Thursday.

“From Chancay to Shanghai, what we are witnessing is not only the root and blossom of the Belt and Road Initiative in Peru, but also the birth of a new gateway that connects land and sea, Asia and Latin America,” said President Xi when addressing the opening ceremony.

Xi flew in earlier Thursday to pay a state visit to Peru and attend the 31st APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting. This is his sixth visit to the continent since 2013.

Transforming regional trade dynamics

The Chancay Port is not only a good deep-water port, but also the first smart port and green port in South America, Xi said.

Strategically located as Peru’s gateway to the Pacific, the port is connected to the Pan-American Highway via a tunnel, providing direct access to Peru’s capital Lima. As the first “maritime expressway” into Latin America, it will enable faster and more cost-efficient transport of Peruvian exports, such as cranberries and avocados, to Asian markets.

“Our goal is to become the Singapore of Latin America, so that port cargo passes through here when going to Asia. When someone from Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Paraguay and Argentina wants to go to Asia, they should think of Peru as a point of departure,” Peruvian Transport Minister Raul Perez Reyes told reporters last month.

The construction of Chancay Port aligns perfectly with the growing demands for trade between China and Latin America.

Additionally, Peru has initiated plans to develop a railway and highway network connecting Chancay Port to major cities across the country, with potential future links to transportation networks in other regional countries, and could support the efficient export of Brazilian soybeans, iron ore, frozen meat, Colombian coffee, avocados and other goods to Asia via this new trade route.

“The Chancay Port will help Peru improve shipping efficiency and deepen trade cooperation with Asia,” said David Gamero, a deputy manager at the Chancay megaport project. He added that beyond direct economic benefits, the massive port will also drive the development of Latin America’s logistics value chain and advance technological and industrial growth, creating a “multiplier effect.”

Xi once referred to Peru as “China’s neighbor across the Pacific,” and cited an ancient Chinese poem to characterize China’s relations with countries in Latin America and the Caribbean: “True friends always feel close to each other no matter the distance between them.”

Once the Chancay Port comes into operation, it will be able to integrate the entire Latin American region into the dynamic economic framework of the Asia-Pacific, greatly bolstering connectivity within and beyond the continent.

Intensifying China-Latin America cooperation

The BRI, proposed by China in 2013, incorporated Latin America and the Caribbean region in 2017.

As of 2023, 22 countries in the region have signed BRI cooperation documents with China, according to the report by a steering group for the Belt and Road Initiative. Notable projects include the Belo Monte Hydropower Plant ultra-high-voltage transmission line in Brazil, Argentina’s Belgrano Cargas railway, among others.

Additionally, since 2012, China has been the second-largest trading partner of Latin America. In 2023, the total trade volume between China and Latin American countries exceeded $489 billion.

Experts say China’s investment and technical support are helping Latin American countries accelerate their economic development and have become an important driving force for the development of the Global South. They also voiced expectation for Xi’s attendance at APEC to inject positive momentum into regional integration and economic cooperation.

Rafael del Campo Quintana, vice president of the Peruvian Exporters Association, said that APEC is not only an important platform for promoting regional trade and economic cooperation but also provides developing countries, including Peru, with opportunities to deeply integrate into the global economy.

Life After Hate Launches HateEraser–A Revolutionary Spray Paint Remover to Eliminate Hate-Based Graffiti

HateEraser removes hate-based graffiti in communities and gives first-time offenders a second chance through judge-mandated service

NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, on the International Day for Tolerance and in response to the alarming 600% rise in hate-based graffiti, the Chicago-based nonprofit Life After Hate has launched HateEraser—the first aerosol-gel based formula designed to quickly eradicate hate speech from most surfaces.

Life After Hate is partnering with police stations across the country to distribute HateEraser as part of a new program in which first-time offenders are required to use it during court-mandated community service. This initiative is based on the belief that educating offenders on the damage their actions cause can help prevent them from continuing a life of hate.

“We know that hate-based speech and hate-based graffiti are the first steps to hate-based violence,” remarked Life After Hate Director Pat Riccards. “HateEraser works to change the futures of people motivated by hate and extremist ideologies through education, community service, and helping people alter their path away from a life of continued radical hate.”

The HateEraser formula contains acetone, xylene, and multiple varieties of alcohol and hydrocarbons. “This unique combination of active ingredients,” according to Savannah Technical College Chemistry Professor Ujjvala Bagal, “removes hateful markings as quickly as they were made.”

Street artists do not want to be associated with hate-based graffiti. That’s why they joined in on the HateEraser effort. The cans were designed by street artists from across the country to help inspire change in their communities, with every design telling a different story of acceptance, anti-hate, and empathy. “The hope is that through the HateEraser program, education, action, and strengthening hate crime laws, we can help foster a safe and more accepting community,” said Dina Peck, Chief Creative Officer of The Purpose Group.

“Hate has no place in our art,” Jax, one of the artists on the project, said. “And I’m proud to be a part of something that makes real change in my community.”

Today’s news is the latest glimpse into how Life After Hate has been embracing several innovative solutions for helping individuals disengage from hateful violence and make our communities safer. Last May, the organization unveiled Daily Former Discord, a multi-level public engagement tool. It’s designed to help those currently engaged in violent extremism, those looking to exit such hate groups, and those who have successfully left lives of hate behind reengage in society.

PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — This Black Friday, DermRays is excited to announce its most significant sale of the year, offering $130 off sitewide from November 16-30th, 2024. With this limited-time discount, customers can experience the brand’s advanced home laser hair removal technology at unbeatable prices. Don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity to invest in smoother, hair-free skin for less.

In recognition of our commitment to quality and innovation, DermRays V6S model was recently ranked second among the top ten at-home laser hair removal devices globally by Harper’s Bazaar. In their article, “The 10 Best At-Home Laser Hair Removal Devices, According to the Pros“, DermRays stood out as a trusted leader, celebrated for delivering professional-grade results in a convenient, at-home device. For more details, you can explore the full article from Harper’s Bazaar.

It’s essential to clarify the long-term goals of laser hair removal. Technically, it is a process of “laser hair reduction” rather than complete “removal,” as some hair regrowth is normal over time. Even with consistent treatments, new hair from dormant follicles may appear after one to three years. At-home laser devices offer a manageable, convenient skincare routine, giving lasting, visible results in a way that’s easier, faster, and more affordable than traditional methods like waxing or shaving. DermRays aims to set realistic expectations and empower customers with effective, salon-quality solutions at home.

Join us this Black Friday to experience DermRays’ transformative technology at our lowest prices ever, and enjoy smoother, more radiant skin.
