From the Chinese perspective the world is in an irreversible transition towards &#8216;multipolarity&#8217;, and LAC is not an exception. In this regard, this article makes a comprehensive analysis of the recent China&#8217;s engagement with LAC and examination of China&#8217;s diplomacy in LAC, studies the case of China&#8217;s relationship with Venezuela, and claims that the opportunities, complexities and challenges existing in China&#8217;s multipolar diplomacy towards LAC in general. The expected result is to have a representative picture of these interactions of the countries involved, and grasp how to develop better relationship between LAC and China based on the multipolar diplomacy.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen China se ha convertido en actor promotor de cambios en Latinoamérica y el Caribe desde finales de los años noventa y ha asumido un papel más significativo en esta región sobre todo después de la recesión económica de 2008. Desde el punto de vista de la nación asiática, el mundo se encuentra en una transición irreversible hacia un orden multipolar y Latinoamérica es parte de este proceso. En este artículo se hace un análisis del reciente involucramiento de China con países de la región, la diplomacia que se ha implementado, además se detiene a examinar con mayor detalle la relación que existe con Venezuela; de la misma manera asevera que la presencia de China ha traído oportunidades, complejidades y retos para el área, pero también podríamos estar hablando de la transición de Latinoamérica y el Caribe hacia un mundo multipolar. El resultado esperado es tener una mejor fotografía de estas interacciones e interpretar las posibles direcciones en que los acontecimientos están guiando.]]></p></abstract>
