Nicaragua grants Chinese miners rights to a tenth of its land
Original: Gold-rich Nicaragua hands Chinese miners rights to a tenth of its land
Nicaragua, one of Central America's most gold-rich countries, has awarded Chinese mining companies rights covering roughly a tenth of its national territory. The concession highlights Nicaragua's deepening ties with Beijing since it switched diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China in 2021, and is drawing attention to questions over sovereignty, environmental impact and who benefits from the country's mineral wealth.
Why now: The scale of the land concessions to Chinese firms raises concerns about Nicaragua's sovereignty and resource management.
