Surprise Guatemalan presidential contender pitches closer China ties

"We need to work on our trade relations and expand them in the case of China," said Bernardo Arevalo in an interview with local radio program Con Criterio. Guatemala, Central America's most populous country, has for decades opted for ties with Taiwan instead of the Asian giant.
