China was able to talk to the 33 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean without the United States and Canada in the same room. Xi Jinping chose this platform to present his ambitious \u201cChina-Latin American and Caribbean Countries Cooperation Plan (2015\u20132019),\u201d announcing that China\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fmprc.gov.cn\/mfa_eng\/zxxx_662805\/t1227318.shtml\">intended to double<\/a>\u00a0the volume of trade and investment in the region within ten years.<\/p>\n<p>One year later, China\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fmprc.gov.cn\/mfa_eng\/wjdt_665385\/2649_665393\/t1418254.shtml\">published<\/a>\u00a0its second White Paper on Beijing\u2019s policy towards Latin America.

In this sense, the new Sino \u2013 Latin American cooperation plan has yet to convince many analysts and pundits. China is not growing as fast as the beginning of the century, and Latin America and the Caribbean is also experiencing a slow cycle of growth. On top of that, the region is going through a very unstable political period.<\/p>\n<p>However, as far as trade and investment is concerned, in the near future Xi Jinping may be able to achieve more than expected.<\/p>\n<p>Please click here to read the full\u00a0&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/iapsdialogue.org\/2018\/05\/28\/xi-jinpings-window-of-opportunity-in-latin-america\/\">Xi Jinping&#8217;s window of opportunity in Latin America<\/a>&#8221; article at the IAPS Dialogue, written by\u00a0Diego Leiva, School of Government and International Relations, Griffith University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 2015 the first meeting of the China \u2013 CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean states) forum was held in Beijing.
