The People’s Republic of China (China, in what follows) has increased its presence in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) from several perspectives, expressed in increasing academic, political, trade and investment relationships, as well as in terms of business and culture. While this “new encounter” has apparently began in the economic sphere since the end of the 20th century, it is true that several centuries of exchange cannot be left aside in the already mentioned spheres of analysis. Currently the LAC-China dialogue presents an increasing richness in bilateral and multilateral policies, as well as regarding raw materials and the environment, or the analysis of culture, history and the learning Chinese.
