Abstract:In recent years, with the frequent visits between senior leaders of China and Latin America, Chinese enterprises' enthusiasm for investment in Latin America has also been increasing. However, China is far away from Latin America, and there are many differences in administration, culture, economic development mode and so on. At the same time, many Latin American countries opened up very early, with fierce market competition and complex competition pattern. All of these have actually formed obstacles for Chinese enterprises to invest in Latin America. In view of this, in order to help Chinese enterprises to understand and grasp the characteristics of Latin America investment environment more clearly, this book explores the location advantages, competitive pattern and investment environment of different countries and industries in Latin America from three perspectives: the investment countries that mainly invest in Latin America, the host countries that attract foreign investment and Latin American countries mainly carry out foreign investment. It is expected to provide some references and suggestions for Chinese enterprises to invest in Latin America. Finally, this book also invites several experts and scholars from Latin America to share with readers the Latin American investment environment they know from the perspective of insider.
