China invests in Latin America


China is Latin America's third largest trading partner, but the country is hoping for more.

Two top officials are visiting Latin America right now, which is unusual as a simultaneous trip.

Chinese Vice-Premier Hui Liangyu will visit Argentina, Ecuador, Barbados and the Bahamas.

Vice-President Xi Jinping will visit Jamaica, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and Mexico.

According to the BBC, the government is eager to expand new markets after connections with Europe and North America have collapsed.
