What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The Port of Chancay in Peru is a major infrastructure project intended to serve as a transshipment hub for exports from countries including Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, and Brazil. The port is operated by COSCO Shipping Ports, a joint venture that is 60 percent owned by Chinese state-owned COSCO Shipping Ports. Total investment in the facility is reported to be between US$3.5 billion and US$3.6 billion. The project has been the subject of international geopolitical focus, including from the United States, and a Peruvian court has ordered the government to oversee the port operations.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The development of Chancay as a Pacific Gateway allows for direct trade routes that bypass North America. This expansion of Chinese influence in Latin America is viewed by some as a strategic foothold for China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Furthermore, the project has drawn criticism from international bodies regarding the risks associated with foreign investment and geopolitical dependency.
