This is occurring in the teeth of intense US pressure and hostility and, the article notes, the Latin American left is characterised by a […]

Re-reading the editorial we wrote 2 years ago in December 2019, when China Environment News had just begun, reminds us that the contradictions we pointed to then have only intensified.
