"There are expectations [from Chinese companies] in the Western Hemisphere that when you come and invest in the region that you have corporate social responsibility… that you treat your workers well," said COA's Eric Farnsworth during a panel discussion and launch of Americas Quarterly's Winter issue on China's global rise.

AS/COA held launch events for the Winter 2012 issue of Americas Quarterly in New York and Washington to discuss new perspectives on the Sino-Latin American relationship and its implications for the United States.

A senior Shanghai scholar says China poses no threat to the region.

China’s informal business culture finds a too-familiar environment in Latin America.

AS/COA co-hosted a panel exploring the economic and political prospects of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, particularly in light of Mexico and Canada’s interest in joining the trade group.

"China’s growing economic, diplomatic, and military presence and even assertiveness in the developing world is recasting the global stage," writes AS/COA's Christopher Sabatini in an article for FOX News Latino.

"Most countries in Latin America are now less reliant on the U.S. economy and the financial health of U.S. businesses and consumer," writes Univision's Stephen Keppel citing Americas Quarterly's winter 2012 issue.
