Looks like de-ice to me, and a cursory glance at the weather in Spain shows a low temp below 0°C.

W-why not fly over the Pacific to Australia for a technical stop and then continue to Argentina? Why is he going the long way around?

Even if it is 0 on the ground, slightly higher it might get below 0 and very moist, and this is dangerous, so take some anti-freeze with you, if you don't want your fuel consumption to sky rocket.

Pacific is the long way round. Argentina isn't Chile.

I just checked it, and you're right.
But it seems that flying over the Pacific just off the coast of the US would only be 700km extra to the journey, and flying over Russia, Canada and the US on the way there would only be 400km extra.
I guess South America is pretty much the opposite side of the world for the Chinese.

It's shorter to fly all the way to Europe and then continue on to South America. Singapore used to stop in Barcelona before going on to Sao Paulo while Air China stops in Madrid with the A330 and then continues on to Sao Paulo via the Atlantic

It depends. If destination to Peru then North America would be the closer way while if destination is Chile then Pacific would be the closer way
