Abstract

The central questions for a critical analysis of the economic relations between China and Latin America and the Caribbean countries since the beginning of the twenty-first century are how to interpret the changes in them since the end of the commodities boom and whether they have resulted in the emulation in these countries of the Chinese model of development. Analysis suggests that, although the Chinese presence was welcome during the turbulence of the 2001 economic crisis, relations with China are becoming increasingly complex and reflect the political and economic principles of South-South cooperation. Las preguntas centrales para un análisis crítico de las relaciones económicas entre China y los países de América Latina y el Caribe desde principios del siglo XXI son cómo interpretar los cambios en ellos desde el final del auge de los productos básicos y si han resultado en la emulación en estos países del modelo de desarrollo chino. El análisis sugiere que, aunque la presencia china fue bienvenida durante la turbulencia de la crisis económica de 2001, las relaciones con China son cada vez más complejas y reflejan los principios políticos y económicos de la cooperación Sur-Sur.
