Sino­vac’s de­ci­sion to set up a vac­cine plant in Chile is the lat­est ex­am­ple of grow­ing trade be­tween Chi­na and Chile.

Chile’s de­ci­sion to let peo­ple draw funds from their pen­sions to weath­er the pan­dem­ic could make them vul­ner­a­ble lat­er.

New con­sti­tu­tion­al as­sem­bly in deeply po­larised na­tion must learn to work to­geth­er and build trust, ex­perts say.

Fac­ing wide­spread crit­i­cism, Se­bas­t­ian Pin­era’s low pop­u­lar­i­ty could af­fect up­com­ing pres­i­den­tial vote, an­a­lysts say.

Vot­er turnout has been low, but Chileans say they hope to par­tic­i­pate in ‘shap­ing fu­ture’ of the coun­try.

Chileans will choose mem­bers who will draw up a new con­sti­tu­tion as well as state and lo­cal of­fi­cials.
