BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil is in talks with China to build a railway connecting the Chinese-built mega Chancay port in Peru to Brazilian regions, Planning Minister Simone Tebet said on Friday.

"They are very interested in helping Brazil, in crisscrossing the country with railways," Tebet told local outlet Carta Capital in an interview.

Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the inauguration of the deepwater port in November.

The $1.3 billion Chancay project is Beijing's largest investment in South America and part of its push to expand trade and influence across the continent.

2. China also sets up debt traps with these projects.

None of this is free. China loans third world countries the money to build infrastructure.
But they have to use Chinese companies, so China gets the money, but the third world
country has to pay off the debt just the same.

The third world counties can never pay back the debt so they are beholden to China in perpetuity.
