China plays a central role in the process of rapid change under way in the world economy. By 2017, the country's GDP is expected to outstrip that of the United States - making it the world's largest economy. This buoyancy has resulted in a strong demand for raw materials that often come from Latin America and the Caribbean.
Between 2000 and 2012, the trade among China and the region therefore increased by 21 times to stand at USD 250 billion. China is now the main destination for exports from Brazil, Chile and Peru, the second destination for Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba and Uruguay, the th…
China ocupa un papel central en el acelerado proceso de cambios que atraviesa la economía mundial. Se espera que en 2017 su producto interno bruto supere al de Estados Unidos, convirtiéndose en la primera economía a nivel global. Este dinamismo se ha traducido en una fuerte demanda de materias primas, que en muchos casos provienen de América Latina y el Caribe.
Es así como entre 2000 y 2012 el comercio entre la región y China se ha multiplicado por 21, llegando a los 250.000 millones de dólares. China ya es el primer destino de las exportaciones de Brasil, Chile y Perú, el segundo para C…

Although Chinese corporations were relatively unknown in Latin America until a few years ago, their direct
investments in the region have averaged about US$10 billion per year since 2010. Their presence and economic
leverage have become very significant in many industries and countries of the region, but their motivation, strategy
and procedures are not always well understood by Latin America’s governments, businesses and civil society.
Similarly, Chinese companies still need to gain a better understanding of Latin America’s business environment
and opportunities.

The increasing prominence of developing countries in the world economy reects not only their economic dynamism but also stronger links through increased South-South trade, investment and cooperation. Developing countries in both Latin America and East Asia must act proactively to prepare themselves for this new scenario, adjusting their policies and strategies so as to take advantage of the growing potential of South-South links. In this regard, authorities from both regions should redouble their efforts to identify and capitalize upon their potential complementarities, by creating biregional …
