China’s engagement with Latin America is growing in the context of U.S. President Trump’s calls for closer ties with the region reminiscent of the Monroe Doctrine. Amid rising tariffs and geopolitical tensions, China aims to solidify its influence as countries seek economic partnerships and alternative allies.
During Xi’s meetings, contributions from Brazil and other LATAM leaders will demonstrate their collective interest in asserting independence from U.S. pressures, as expressed by Chinese officials.

The emerging dynamics indicate a significant shift in Latin American foreign relations, placing emphasis on bolstering economic ties with China while navigating the complicated terrain of U.S. policies under the Trump administration.
