China shops for

Latin American
oil, food, minerals
By Ian James
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARACAS, Venezuela — Latin America is blessed with a

wealth of natural resources such as oil, copper and soy, and
needs financing to capitalize on them. China needs commodities
to keep its economy growing and has about $3 trillion in reserves
to burn.
Those interests have come together in a burgeoning and
unorthodox partnership, as China lends and invests tens of bil-
lions of dollars in countries around Latin America in return for a
guaranteed flow of commodities.
Recent deals have made China a key financier to the govern-
ments of Venezuela and Argentina. At the same time, Chinese
companies have secured a decade’s worth of oil from Venezuela
and Brazil, and steady supplies of wheat, soybeans and natural
gas from Argentina.
China is breaking new ground by aggressively locking down
resources around Latin America through large loans, investments
and other financial arrangements, said Orville Schell, director of
the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society in New
York.
“I don’t know of any other government which has done this sort
of securing of rights for commodities and natural resources so
systematically around the Third World as China, and they’ve used
a whole host of new financial instruments to do this,” Schell said.
Large investments have gone to Brazil and Argentina, but
China has extended even bigger loans to Venezuela, agreeing to
provide more than $32 billion to President Hugo Chavez’s gov-
ernment.
Venezuela will pay its debt with increasing amounts of it dur-
ing the next decade. The infusion of cash has swiftly made China
Venezuela’s biggest foreign lender, enabling Chavez to boost
spending ahead of next year’s presidential election.

Brittany Lincicome wins ShopRite LPGA Classic
GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Brittany Lincicome
made a 4-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday to win the
ShopRite LPGA Classic for her fourth LPGA Tour title and
first in two years.
Lincicome’s birdie capped a bogey-free 5-under 66 that gave
her a one-shot victory over third-ranked Jiyai Shin and No. 4
Cristie Kerr. It was the long-hitting Lincicome’s first win since
the 2009 Kraft Nabisco.
“Everything kind of fell my way,” Lincicome said. “It was
clearly my week.”
The win came on a day when the players endured delays
because of rulings on the course, and the twosomes played 4
1/2-hour rounds. The 25-year-old Lincicome finished the 54-
hole tournament on the Bay Course at Seaview with an 11-
under 202 total, and the difference definitely was the par 5s.
