A rare direct link from China to Latin America linking the Asian giant\u2019s busiest shipping <\/strong>hub Guangzhou Port to Peru\u2019s Chancay Port launched yesterday<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing a statement from China\u2019s public broadcaster CCTV. Cosco\u2019s Volga Vessel will be the first ship embarking on the voyage with about 400 containers of auto parts, refrigerators, home appliances, and other goods. <\/p>\n

The route will also see Chancay port \u2014 which has recently undergone a USD 3.5 bn upgrade<\/a> \u2014 act as a linking point for Chinese ships heading to other South American ports, such as Mexico's Manzanillo Port and Chile's San Antonio Port,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
