Countries such as Mexico were worried about its inclusion for China&#8217;s competitiveness was a great challenge to face; others such as Chile took advantage of the benefits of being part of the multilateral forum and began negotiations to formalize bilateral cooperation. What are the main characteristics of bilateralism? What benefits can China bring as a trading partner within the framework of an FTA? Can the Chilean case be taken into consideration for other countries to pursue bilateral agreements with China? This paper has the objective of answering those questions through an analysis of the scope of trade agreements, the Chinese integration to the World Trade Organization and its free trade agreements network, and the integration of China with Latin America, with a special focus on its relationship with Chile as the first country in the continent to have an agreement with China.]]></p></abstract>

Países como México mostraron su preocupación debido al reto que representaba China en cuestiones de competencia; otros, como Chile aprovecharon las ventajas de formar parte de la OMC como un foro multilateral de comercio y comenzaron negociaciones con China para formalizar la cooperación bilateral. ¿Cuáles son las principales características del bilateralismo? ¿Qué beneficios puede aportar China como socio comercial en el marco de un TLC? ¿Puede el caso de Chile ser tomado en cuenta en el marco de futuros acuerdos comerciales entre China y otros países? Este artículo tiene el objetivo de responder a dichas preguntas mediante un análisis de los alcances de los tratados comerciales, la integración de China a la OMC y su red de tratados de libre comercio, y la integración de China con la región de América Latina y el Caribe con énfasis en su relación con Chile, al ser el primer país en el continente en tener un acuerdo con el país asiático.]]></p></abstract>
