Why do we always forget about South America when we talk about military and political topics?

We talk about various military and political issues online! Europe, the United States, the Middle East, Asia, South Asia, Africa, and Australia will all be mentioned! But it seems that South America has little presence! Even in places like Africa, we can all think of places that are contested by great powers! People from South Asia and Australia can also think of younger brothers from the United States!

Because there is really nothing to talk about!

First, South American countries are too far away from China;

Second, personnel exchanges are very limited. We usually have people studying abroad, immigrants, and tourists around us. Like relatives and friends, it is rare to hear that their destination is South America;

3. At present, the relations between South American countries and our country are mediocre. There is neither a quasi-ally with particularly good relations like Pakistan nor Japan. Such opponents who fight openly and secretly have no love or hatred. In addition, the "Belt and Road" strategy has nothing to do with them, so naturally we don't pay much attention to South American countries;

4. South America rarely becomes a hot spot internationally. The major international events you see when you turn on the TV now are either the Syrian civil war or another shooting in the United States. Except during the World Cup, the names of South American countries are rarely heard on TV;

5. South America The countries themselves are all lifeless countries. Recently, they have been relatively quiet in the country, and there has been nothing outstanding. In my opinion, these countries are just like this. They are all examples of the "middle-income trap". There will be no What a huge change;

6. Spanish and Portuguese are minor languages, and very few people learn them in China;

7. Exchange visits between my country and South American countries Relatively few.
