Abstract

The rapid growth of Chinese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is one of the defining characteristics of the global investment scenario in the twenty-first century and reflects the development of the country’s internationalization strategy that began in the early 2000s. This chapter analyzes the characteristics of Chinese FDI in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) within the context of China’s broader internationalization process. The evolution of Chinese FDI in the region is studied from its origins in the 2000s when it was largely concentrated in extractive industries to its expansion into a wider breadth of sectors and countries. The benefits and challenges of the China-LAC investment relationship are assessed, and the prospects for future investment flows to address LAC’s longstanding structural problems are evaluated, particularly in relation to China’s evolving development strategy, the Belt and Road Initiative and its Health, Green, and Digital Silk Road components.
