“…Both Jenkins (2022) and Pu and Myers (2022) have one point in common, which is that China's geostrategic benefit in pushing the BRI in the Western Hemisphere is not entirely clear and that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China can deepen its ties with the region without confrontation with the United States.…”

“…In the first manuscript, Jenkins (2022) raises the question of whether the extension of the BRI to Latin America is leading to a significant change in relations between China and the countries in the region. The article answers three questions: Has it led to closer economic links with China?…”

“…This particular Special Issue, which focuses on Latin America, is organised following a general to particular logic. The first two manuscripts (Jenkins, 2022; Pu and Myers, 2022) provide a snapshot of the scope of the BRI in Latin America and the geopolitical competition between China and the United States in the region. Then, the four manuscripts that follow delve into the effects of the trade war (Dussel Peters, 2022; Gachúz Maya, 2022), the mask diplomacy during the COVID-19 pandemic (Telias and Urdinez, 2022), and the recent trends in Chinese overseas finance in renewable energy (Gélvez Rubio and González, 2022).…”

The Bretton Woods institutions have failed to accommodate a rising China, and many authors describe this moment as a crisis of the liberal order, which China is intentionally contesting. The World Trade Organization was incapable of offering a solution to the trade war, and more recently, the World Health Organization was incapable of reducing – and rather partly contributed to – tensions between the US and China in the management of COVID-19 crisis. This Special Issue is made up of six manuscripts that address the most sensitive issues of the China–Latin American relationship amid the challenges of the growing dispute with the United States. The manuscripts assess the four main concerns that are shaping the agenda in China–Latin American relations in times of increasing geopolitical and geoeconomic competition between the United States and China: the Belt and Road Initiative, the One-China policy, the trade war, and the COVID-19 crisis.

“…Jenkins (2021) takes a similar approach when he analyzes China's invitation to Latin America to participate in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This fueled expectations of a much closer and more productive relationship with the region.…”

News Sentiment Analysis: The Case of Chinese Vessels in the EEZs of Latin American Countries

This study analyzes how recent fishing disputes involving China and Latin American countries have been reported by local and global media. We conducted content and sentiment analysis of media articles, coding articles according to the sentiment (“positive,” “negative,” or “neutral”) they express toward China and the actions of its fishing fleet, based on the words used to describe the same. We also examined what topics are discussed in different media – issues that are more specific and “local” in nature or broader issues that go beyond specific incidents. According to our findings, Latin American media can be as negative in their reporting on China and Chinese actions as Anglo‐Saxon Western media but tend to focus more on local issues and specific incidents, whereas Anglo‐Saxon Western media are more likely to connect incidents to broader geopolitical issues. Deepening of China‐LAC economic relations have not reduced Latin American media's critical approach toward China. At the same time, the local media remain independent; they do not necessarily reproduce the same frames as global news platforms in their coverage of China. These findings reinforce the idea that LAC broadly does not want to choose sides in the China‐US rivalry.

A contribuição deste estudo consiste em analisar a recente expansão da Iniciativa Cinturão e Rota (em inglês, Belt and Road Initiative – BRI) na América Latina e no Caribe (ALC). O trabalho justifica-se pelo perceptível adensamento, bem como diversificação das transações entre a região e a China nos últimos anos. O avanço da BRI na ALC é interpretado à luz das formulações do campo da Cooperação Internacional para o Desenvolvimento (CID). Os casos específicos de países latino-americanos selecionados foram analisados, destacando-se suas particularidades. Argumenta-se que a adesão desses países à iniciativa não constitui um fenômeno homogêneo, mas dotado de potenciais e desafios plurais.
