Overview
How is China reshaping Latin America and the Caribbean across trade, technology, security, and geopolitics?
Join Americas Society and Young Professionals of the Americas as we explore this question in a talk with Leland Lazarus, author of Dragon in the Americas: China’s Power, Presence, and Regional Influence, moderated by AS/COA Online Editor-in-Chief Carin Zissis.
Drawing on original research, fieldwork, and policy experience, Lazarus’ new and timely book offers an on-the-ground analysis that moves beyond “China threat” and “White Knight” narratives, examining Beijing’s pursuit of strategic support points, from ports and the Panama Canal to digital infrastructure, space cooperation, and critical minerals.
The event will be followed by a reception.
