China and Chile have signed a free-trade agreement, Beijing's first in South America.

The deal will give China better access to Chile's extensive natural resources, such as copper, while Chile will be able to target the vast Chinese market.

Chilean president Michelle Bachelet said the deal was a "milestone" in the country's economic expansion.

China is rapidly increasing trade deals in the developing world to help fuel its surging demand for raw materials.

[Deja Q]

1. Well, the price to produce one penny has now gone up even further!

:rofl:

Why isn't China making deals with the US? Especially when ours is the largest market for their "goods" (which don't often seem very good in quality...)
