From: Ellis, Robert E CIV USARMY AWC (US) Dear Colleague:
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to share my newest
article, "China's Fall 2016 Latin America Charm Offensive" just
published in the e-journal Cypher Brief. The article analyzes the
important shifts in China's relationship with Latin America and the Caribbean
that have occurred during the past month. I argue that China has
effectively managed a significant challenge to its relationship with the
hemisphere represented by Cuba's reapproachment with the United States, the
crisis in Venezuela, and the assumption of power of relatively
pro-US/pro-market governments in Argentina, Brazil and Peru. The article
also examines the recent wave of PRC diplomacy involving the region, including
interactions with Latin American leaders at the recent G-20 and BRICS summits,
as well as trips to Latin America by Foreign Minister Yi and Premier Li, and
the upcoming visit to Chile, Ecuador, and Peru in conjunction with the November
2016 APEC leaders summit in Lima.
The article is included here as a PDF document, and is also available at the
website for the Cipher Brief, which published it:
