讲座内容/ Abstract:

China’s relations with Latin America took a new turn during the pandemic. Large-scale loans ended although other kinds of financial flows continued at a lower level. In addition, some new trends emerged, such as assistance in the health area and a greater sectoral and country diversity of investments. At the same time, Latin American governments have had to contend with increasing tensions between China and the United States, which makes their path more difficult. Two questions are of particular interest: what will be the characteristics of post-pandemic relations and how do Latin America’s experiences compare with those from other developing regions, especially Sub-Saharan Africa?
