    Overview

    China’s growing economic and political influence in Latin America is arguably the biggest regional story of the twenty-first century. How have Chinese trade and investment evolved and changed in recent years? How are Latin American governments reacting? What are Beijing’s true goals for the region? Join Americas Quarterly and a panel of contributors and experts as we launch our new issue, “China and Latin America 2.0”—a sweeping, nuanced portrayal of the relationship as it stands today.

    Entry is complimentary for AS, COA members and YPA Silver members, as well as current Americas Quarterly subscribers, who should email
