Latin America's China dilemma

China continues to cultivate its rapidly growing economic links with Latin America, as a visit to the region by the Chinese premier, Wen Jiabao, illustrates. But while China is now the third-largest trading partner for the region, the relationship is under strain. Commodity producers are pleased enough to satisfy China's voracious appetite for raw materials, but Latin American manufacturers are less thrilled about the prospect of competing with cheap Chinese imports. It's a familiar refrain in many parts of the world, and an issue that will complicate China's efforts to expand internationally.

How does China's growing economic footprint affect the markets in which your business operates? Please let me know at: robinlbew@eiu.com.

Best regards,

Robin Bew
