How governmental policies have shaped the sino – lac economic relationship in the period 2007-2017

Abstract

Undoubtedly, China’s contemporary revival is demonstrated by its rapid economic growth and foreign investment in developing countries, which consider ‘’the dragon in the room’’ as an opportunity to create alternate economic advancement through capital inflows and knowledge transference. However, China’s intention towards implementing foreign policies in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have unveiled the region’s potential in terms of natural resources and market development to China’s benefit, especially considering American power shifts in the continent.
