| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 18381151 United States02/16/2013 09:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The US is one of Peru's principal markets. Peru's principal export markets in 2012 were the US (15.8%, China (13.8%)... [link to www.bullionstreet.com] Peru is giving China more attention than the US with contracts. [link to www.wealthwire.com] All of the new investments come on the heels of the free trade agreement between China and Peru earlier this year. China is currently the second largest trading partner of Peru. It is estimated that the agreement will allow Peru to export $805 million worth of materials and goods to China. Recent problems have dampened investment interest. Almost a year of non-stop anti-mining protests in different regions of Peru are making large investors hesitant and many have started looking for greener pastures with less potential disruption. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1357114 Absolutely. The US feels infringed by the amount of contracts Per is awarding China. 2007 Contract, which Peru is breaking by increasing exports to China: [link to www.fas.org] For Peru, the impact would be more significant because the United States is Peru’s leading trade partner. In 2006, 23% of Peru’s exports went to the United States, and 16% of Peru’s imports were supplied by the United States. In that same year, Peru accounted for 0.5% of total U.S. trade. Peru ranks 43rd among U.S. export markets and 42nd as a source of U.S. imports. The dominant U.S. import item from Peru is gold (24% in 2006) and the leading U.S. export items to Peru are petroleum oils and related products (9% in 2006). Upon implementation, a PTPA would eliminate duties on 80% of U.S. exports of consumer and industrial products to Peru. An additional 7% of U.S. exports would receive duty-free treatment within five years of implementation. Remaining tariffs would be eliminated ten years after implementation. A PTPA would make the preferential duty treatment for selected U.S. imports from Peru permanent. |

Quoting: pool I went to Peru last year and saw dozens of Chinese cells in every town, especially the Nazca area. Now the US Department of Defence also sees them as a threat to our exclusive rights to gold purchases and has threatened Peru with tourism losses.

"In this case we received information that we consider reliable," she told RPP radio, without going into the details outlined by the embassy official to the AP. The Maoist-inspired Shining Path was all but decimated by the time the U.S. State Department designated it as a foreign terrorist organization in 1997.

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 18381151 United States02/16/2013 09:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh goody. Somebody else we can bomb the crap out of. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33832742 I was afraid we were going to run out of those. Lack of money and tourism weakens a society which prefers the good nature and support of openly minded people. The Peruvians have struggled against the Spanish ways and for most of the past decade have been enkinded by the American fascination of their Quechua language and history. It was not until 1975 did their native language have recognition. They still teach it and are trying democratically have it supported as their first language again. Without American support, their struggles will be slighted. To blame them is outrageous. More than likely, the US wants to send in more troops and this is just a mask to get there. [link to www.revcom.us] Anyone who believes that sending military aid to the Peruvian regime will help stop the drug problem is being played for a fool. And when the U.S. government claims to be fighting a "war on drugs" in Peru, they are lying through their teeth. |
