Overview

The growing presence and influence of China in Latin America is well-known and widely discussed.  Less well known is how the people of the region perceive the growing Chinese presence, how it impacts their lives and shapes relations between Latin America and China.  The Wilson Center’s Latin American Program and Vanderbilt University's Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) brought together a panel of experts to discuss public perceptions of China in the region and how these compare to public perceptions of the United States.  Special attention was given to the relationship between these perceptions and policy choices by governments in Latin America, the United States and China. Presentations were based on findings from the 2012 AmericasBarometer biennial survey by LAPOP.

The Program provides insightful and actionable research for policymakers, private sector leaders, journalists, and public intellectuals in the United States and Latin America. To bridge the gap between scholarship and policy action, it fosters new inquiry, sponsors high-level public and private meetings among multiple stakeholders, and explores policy options to improve outcomes for citizens throughout the Americas. Drawing on the Wilson Center’s strength as the nation’s key non-partisan policy forum, the Program serves as a trusted source of analysis and a vital point of contact between the worlds of scholarship and action.  Read more
