China's Relations with Latin America: Shared Gains, Asymmetric Hopes

On behalf of the Inter-American Dialogue, we are pleased to issue this new and comprehensive analysis of "China's Relations with Latin America: Shared Gains, Asymmetric Hopes," authored by a team led by professor Jorge I. Domínguez of Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. In this policy brief, Domínguez and his colleagues examine how China's role in the Americas has evolved over the decades, with a special emphasis on its bilateral ties with such key countries in the region as Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Venezuela, and Cuba. China's increasing role in Latin America and the Caribbean has emerged as a central topic of interest for analysts, government officials, and corporate leaders engaged in Western Hemisphere affairs. Chinese presence and influence in Latin America has expanded rapidly during the past several years, and the region's leaders are seeking to better understand the challenges and opportunities presented by China as it assumes a new role as a rising global power. We will look forward to your reactions to the information and analysis presented in this report.

The original manuscript of this article was written at the request of Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we are pleased to recognize its financial support for this project.
