I. Introduction of the ProblemIf two countries have a close economic interdependence, are they more inclined to develop active cooperative relations, or are they more likely to effectively contain each other based on this dependency? If we go back ten years, we believe most people's answer would be the former. In an era of rapid globalization, economic interdependence between countries is precisely the result of efficient global distribution of industrial chains, with countries benefiting from their respective locational and competitive advantages, making the global economy more efficient. Moreover, in that era, people were deeply convinced of this logic. China also actively integrated into the globalization process.

This will effectively promote the in-depth development of the Belt and Road Initiative in Latin America, thereby putting the ideal of building a community with a shared future for mankind into practice.

AbstractIn recent years, as Sino-Latin American relations have grown increasingly close, especially with the continuous expansion of economic and trade ties, many Chinese enterprises have shown growing enthusiasm for investing in Latin America. However, Latin America is geographically distant and differs significantly from China in many aspects, including politics, economics, history, and culture, which collectively pose considerable challenges to Chinese companies. This book compiles eighteen research papers by more than a dozen experts, scholars, and industry professionals over the past eight years, focusing on Latin America’s investment environment, risks, and coping strategies, with the aim of providing practical insights for Chinese enterprises investing in the region.
