This is John Bachelor, conversation with Rick Fisher International Assessment and Strategy Center

0:06.8

about a People's Republic of China space base in southern Argentina, this the result of the Kertner regime previously, inherited by

0:19.2

Javier Malay's Buenos Aires government. The space base is meant for tracking we're told. However
