It seems that the whims and wishes of the incumbent US government are attempting to marginalize the Chinese BRI in Latin American countries through the use of overt military power and biased judicial measures.

Additionally, the US Administration is striving to reshape the Latin American chessboard by implementing the rule of the jungle and fostering a new world disorder. Consequently, the economic stability, sustainability and infrastructure transformation of all Latin American countries are now at risk, making the prospects of the Chinese BRI appear bleak in this region during 2026.

Unfortunately, certain hawkish forces within the US political, social and corporate sectors have already targeted Latin America. Beyond the Panama Canal and Venezuela’s oil, these profit-maximizing agents have openly criticized Peru’s Chancay Port. Conflicting economic interests, combined with financial euphoria under the political banner of “Make America Great Again,” are attempting to seize Peru’s Chancay Port to block Chinese investments and BRI projects.

Recently, the Peruvian court delivered a verdict on regulatory jurisdiction. It seems that the US presumes guilt first, then selectively interprets facts to fit its narrative, deliberately portraying normal commercial cooperation and legal procedures as so-called sovereignty transfers. This reflects the classic example of US capitalism-biased justification and economic protectionism, further restricting Chinese presence and mega-projects in Latin America, including ports, railways, energy and digitalization. The US military approach shows blatant disrespect for Peru’s national sovereignty, judicial authority and governance capacity.
