| Summary: | Over the past decade, Chinese cooperation in Latin America and the Caribbean has gained momentum, propelled not only by growing trade, but also by increasingly diverse political, security, technological, and cultural ties. While this cooperation has brought tangible benefits, it has also generated new dynamics of competition, including among the actors involved in development assistance.

Our analysis highlights four key trends that may be intensified by an upsurge in Chinese cooperation: priority shifts, donor displacement, civil society exclusion, and regional fragmentation. |
