CCTV America: Farnsworth on Chile's Earthquake Aftermath
On CCTV America, Council of the Americas Vice President Eric Farnsworth discussed Chile's response following the April 2 earthquake. Farnsworth said that while "every disaster is a disaster," the impact from the earthquake would likely not have lasting effects on the country's mining industry, especially because Chile was well prepared. He also noted that the earthquake has not had a major impact on President Michelle Bachelet's first 100 days reform agenda, and that she has already moved forward with tax reform, submitting the bill to Congress. Farnsworth also touched on Chile's relationship with China, noting that the South American country has worked to diversify its trade partners.
