1081. IntroductionChina and Latin American countries are geographically and culturally distant and theydiffer in their social systems and distributions of natural resources. However, China andmany Latin American countries have similar historical experiences, have the same demandfor economic and social development, and have common attitudes and similarviews on international affairs.Indeed, the China-Latin America relationship has developed quickly in recent years.The two sides have been expanding their contacts and exchanges through increasinglymultidimensional, comprehensive, and broad cooperation and coordination, which arefounded on the shared ideas of win-win games and mutual reciprocity. China is attachinggreater importance to developing its relationship with Latin America, and includes thatrelationship as an integral part of its overall foreign policy and strategy in the 21 st century.The quickening process of globalization in today’s world provides greater opportunitiesand prospects for promoting sound relationship between China and the countries in LatinAmerica.This paper consists of three major parts. The first part highlights the historical evolutionof the relationship between China and Latin America and argues that, despite variousvicissitudes, the relationship can survive the past and has developed quickly in recentdecades. The second part provides an account of the increasing demands for improvingChina-Latin America relations in the 21 st century, contending that a changing world andthe quest of both China and Latin American countries for sustainable developments callfor closer and more comprehensive cooperation and exchanges between them. The Chineseforeign policy position towards Latin America and the Caribbean in the 21 st centuryreflects the fact that China is attaching greater strategic importance to the region. Thethird part of the paper analyses empirically how the idea of win-win games and mutualreciprocity has facilitated economic and social relations between China and Latin Americancountries, as well as the potential challenges that may affect the development of theChina-Latin America relationship.Key wordsChina-LatinAmerica relations,cooperation,win-win game,mutual reciprocityPalabras claveRelaciones China-Latinoamérica;colaboración;estrategiasmutuamentebeneficiosas;reciprocidad mutuaPalavras-chaveRelações China-América Latina;cooperação;jogo em que todosganham;reciprocidademútua2. History as Prologue: The China-Latin America RelationshipDespite the distances between them, Chinese and Latin American people have enjoyeda time-honored friendship. The contacts and exchanges between China and Latin Americacan be traced back to as early as the mid-16 th century, when a trade route acrossthe Pacific Ocean – later known as “the Sea Silk Road” – was opened between them viathe Philippines (Xu, 1999). Chinese merchants took commodities such as silk, porcelain,clothes, spices, and powders to the New World and brought back materials like silver,maize, and tobacco from countries like Mexico and Peru. At one point, due to the intensesilk trade the Mexican silver coins were so popular in China that they were circulated ascurrency along with Chinese coins.JEL CodesP50; F59GCG GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY - UNIVERSIA ENERO-ABRIL 2012 VOL. 6 NUM. 1 ISSN: 1988-7116pp: 107-114
