The study employs comparative analysis and reviews existing literature to explore factors shaping these relationships. Findings indicate that while China&#8217;s economic cooperation offers development opportunities for Latin America, it also raises concerns about debt sustainability and political leverage. The intensifying U.S.-China rivalry further complicates Latin American foreign policies, as countries attempt to balance economic benefits from China against historical ties with the U.S. The paper argues that Latin American nations may need capability to adopt a sophisticated strategy to maximize advantages from both powers while maintaining autonomy. It concludes that managing these complex dynamics will be crucial for the future of China-Latin America relations.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Este artículo examina las oportunidades y desafíos políticos y económicos en las relaciones ChinaAmérica Latina dentro de una dinámica triangular que involucra a Estados Unidos. Utilizando un marco teórico neorrealista, analiza cómo los países latinoamericanos maniobran entre el compromiso económico chino y la influencia tradicional estadounidense. El estudio emplea análisis comparativo y revisa la literatura existente para explorar los factores que moldean estas relaciones. Los hallazgos indican que, si bien la cooperación económica de China ofrece oportunidades de desarrollo para América Latina, también plantea preocupaciones sobre la sostenibilidad de la deuda y la influencia política. La intensificación de la rivalidad entre Estados Unidos y China complica aún más las políticas exteriores latinoamericanas, ya que los países intentan equilibrar los beneficios económicos de China con los lazos históricos con Estados Unidos. El artículo argumenta que las naciones latinoamericanas podrían necesitar la capacidad de adoptar una estrategia sofisticada para maximizar las ventajas de ambas potencias mientras mantienen su autonomía.]]></p></abstract>
