Recommendation

China’s trade with Latin American grew rapidly between 2000 and 2012, but as the superpower’s economic growth has downshifted, Chinese and Latin American leaders are taking stock and reexamining their relationship beyond the traditional trade dynamic. Academic Joseph Tulchin explores China’s sway in Latin America from not only the import and export perspectives but also from the lending, foreign direct investment and geopolitical aspects. getAbstract recommends this authoritative analysis to policy makers and to executives doing business in the region.

Take-Aways

  • Sino–Latin American trade since the turn of the 21st century has slowed due to the Chinese economic downturn and a bursting commodity price bubble.
  • The commodity boom had pushed Latin American countries to rely heavily on exports, stymying their economic diversification efforts.
  • Latin American nations are now running significant trade deficits with China, which has poured $10 billion annually in foreign direct investment into the region.
