The author stated: "By examining China’s growing influence in LAC, this report seeks to illuminate the multifaceted strategy China has implemented and its impact on important actors in the region, primarily the United States and the LAC countries themselves. One of the most debated questions is whether the relationship with China has benefited or harmed LAC countries. The contrasting views and assessments of China’s intentions and strategic interests will provide a different lens on the perceived benefits and risks of China’s rise in the region."
